Topic > Analysis of Genetic Modification and Genetic Determinism
In reality, many people who were not “born” as musicians or athletes achieved greater results than those who were genetically gifted.

Genetic modification has the potential to remove both of these authenticity factors. In this sense, Resnik and Vorhaus' statement about the authenticity of our achievements is not entirely true
