my brother studied genetics.
genetic modification just like anything else in this society, is trial and error.
they try to modify the genes by using different chemicals to cause a permanent modification in the DNA of a cell or multiple cells.
when they get the results they are looking for, they label them.
they do not know anything about DNA, the consequences of the modifications, or how DNA is actually modified.
its trial and error. a method for a means.
then some guy writes an idealism view of how he thinks genetic modification works, and no one argues against him, because there is "positive results" in that field. |
Believe me, in the scientific world there are plenty of opposing forces, but as far as the consequences for modification go, you're correct. To be sure that a substance does not cause harm in the long run, it needs to withstand the test of time. I took it up a while ago with my professor who's a specialist on immunology and he said, the following:

The original question was: Why can't we block genes which we have proof predispose towards psychiatric illnesses.

there are no predisposed psychiatric illnesses.
mental illness is a label used for those who unwillingly reject conformity towards society.
ive seen and talked to people who doctors labelled "mentally ill"
they were far more understanding than given credit for, they simply had trouble fitting into the standards of conformity of society.
they passively rejected social norms without the ability to chose when or how.
and calling people such as those, 'mentally ill' only causes more detriment and slows down progress. the pills dont help either. they only try to suppress/catalyze their reactions or emotions.
