Is genetic engineering permissible?
Evidently, the purpose of genetic engineering and all other scientific research is to advance our knowledge of reality for the overall good of mankind. Modern science and engineering have developed significant means for the survival of the large population of our planet. No doubt, some selfish and shortsighted individuals have employed scientific knowledge to build weapons of destruction. They have misused science to fulfill their ulterior motives. It is hoped that sanity would prevail and scientific advances, including that in the field of genetic engineering, will be employed only for the benefit of the common good of humanity.
