That's a very good question. If I consider the impacts of biotechnology advancements, firstly, gene-editing tools or technologies may allow science to identify and correct faulty genes, leading to targeted therapies and possible elimination of some diseases. Secondly, advances in technology could move healthcare towards preventive and predictive medicine, where individuals are treated based on genetic risk rather than symptoms. Additionally, understanding a person's genetic makeup will enable tailor-made treatments, improving effectiveness and reducing side effects. However, there are several cons or disadvantages. For instance, social inequality may arise among the population; this is often referred to as designer babies, which means genetic inequality and access to advanced treatments could be potentially problematic.
