What is the scientific name for genetic homosexuality?

Do you Think there should be any limitations on genetics engineering Give reason to support your position?

Yes!! Genetic engineering is defined as the direct manipulation of an organism's genes. Though I do believe there should be some limitations on what we do with genetic engineering, it can cure so many genetic disorders and illnesses. Keep in mind that nearly EVERY human disorder has an underlying genetic cause. For instance, people with Sick Cell Anemia have a point mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin. This mutation results in abnormal function of the hemoglobin in their blood cells, which causes the cells to turn sickle shaped when they are deoxygenated. It shortens life expectancy to mid 40s, and can cause very painful and potentially lethal complications. However, with genetic engineering we could insert a functioning copy of the gene into a patient's bone marrow cells, and they would be able to produce normal blood cells. In a few months after all their defective sickle blood cells died off, they would be free of the disease. However, I think use of genetic engineering to change a human's appearance, intelligence, or behavior is too much.
