I have a collection of medical complications which are a result of genetic traits I've inherited, and I have lived the first 20 or so years of my life in varying degrees of constant pain. It frustrates me greatly when people immediately assign genetic engineering a negative title "b-b-because the Nazis and GATTACA", and this shortsightedness flippantly ignores the true consequences of inaction. There are others like me, and of course a great deal more who have it far far worse, and I firmly believe that I should have never been allowed to happen. A part of me resents my mother and father for deciding to have another child after they knew that something like me was possible: my younger brother has a similar set of medical conditions. I so desperately wish to see corrective genetic engineering become commonplace, and it is one of the few things which provides a faint hope for the future to me these days.
