The ability to manipulate the genetic building blocks of the human species opens the door to numerous technological possibilities. While these techniques may lead to new methods of battling disease, they also unleash the prospects of creating genetic replicas and modifying the genes of an embryo in the pursuit of "enhanced" characteristics. How do these technologies work - and how will they be used? How can we assess their potentials, both negative and positive?
