The argument against Procreative Beneficence (PB) based onvarieties is as follows:
P1. If we practice PB and select the best genes, then therewon’t be good varieties.
P2. We should have varieties.
C. Therefore, we shouldn’t practice PB and select the bestgenes.
Suppose the technique of genetic modification is at least asadvanced as what is shown in Gattaca. One reply to this argument isbased on distinguishing between government-directed eugenics andindividual-directed eugenics. Elaborate on this reply. (4?) Raise aworry about this reply. You are encouraged to use your own examplesto support your claim. (6?)
