View Scientific advancements as solutions for human problems despite moral or ethical implications

We should always consider what is morally acceptable first.

You can only vote on one answer.

such as genetic engineering, as a potential solution to human problems like disease, hunger, and disabilities, or should we be cautious about the ethical implications of manipulating life and nature?

Is there a clear line that should be drawn between what is scientifically possible and what is morally acceptable?

Ethical considerations come first, IMO.
Just also being careful of not making prejudices a virtue.
Changing some natural stuff had been a human activity needed for survival of our species since at least the neolithic (selective agriculture) and probably earlier (domestication).
So is needed to be careful without getting mystic about and neither making the "common sense" of a period and culture a moral must.
