Improved quickness and dexterity by Genetic engineering
What about the situation where Sarah is genetically enhanced by her parents to have improved quickness and dexterity, as they desire her to be a good soccer player. If she doesn’t like soccer then Schonfeld suggests there will be a number of detrimental effects that this will have on the child and family and these effects show that genetic enhancement breaches the fiduciary relationship. It is my position that it is not the use of genetic enhancement in and of itself that breaches this relationship rather it is the attitude of the parents themselves. Genetic enhancements to improve a child’s quickness and dexterity are likely to give the child a wider range of conceptions of the good life or at the very least make improvements to those conceptions of the good life they would have without the enhancements.
