In your opinion is abortion a right? What about for fetuses with certain diseases or predictable impairments? With that being said if an abortion happens with a fetus that has these diseases or impairment; could it be seen as a form of physician-assisted suicide? “physician-assisted suicide (PAS), which involves a doctor "knowingly and intentionally providing a person with the knowledge or means or both required to commit suicide, including counseling about lethal doses of drugs, prescribing such lethal doses or supplying the drugs." ("Assisted suicide." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017.) This is a highly controversial topic; and I want to share some insight from my point of view. Abortion is defined as “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.” ("Abortion." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. ) This is a topic that has been in the new lately with the new presidential election. It will probably forever be up for debate whether or not if it is the women’s choice and it is legal.

Genetic engineering is “the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material.” ("Genetic engineering." Genetic engineering - Memidex dictionary/thesaurus. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017.) This could be used in such an amazing way, you could prevent your child from getting diseases. This could also go terribly wrong, people could use this technique to change the attributes of their children to enhance them. This idea may appeal to some people, but defiantly not me. With this dangerous engineering at the fingertips of many, the world could become a scary enhance; almost robotic type. The able body will no longer be the normal, they will considered the disabled. The now disabled or impaired body will become virtually extinct, and could change human race
