Slippery slope<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

The term Slippery Slope is an argument that claims that an initial action will trigger a series of other events that will lead to basically some undesirable outcomes in the end. So, if we decide to allow<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
a procedure that heals cystic fibrosis in patients, for example. The argument claims that this will lead to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
more controversial procedures, such as basically, for example, editing cells in terms of, let's say, growth, editing the height of people, and this will then lead to enhancements such as choosing the eye colour of people or other very controversial procedures.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
The problem with human enhancement is that there is no consent, because human enhancement needs to be done before the birth of a baby. So, there's no consent from the baby, obviously. So, we would need to ask the parents. And that could be a problem, because the parents' intentions might not be aligned with the baby's intentions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
There's also the problem of accessibility, because obviously if people have to pay for it, then it would be accessible for rich people, but not for poorer ones. And that also leads to a problem of fairness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
And it could lead to a two-class system where rich people have access to enhancement, whereas poorer people don't have access. And that would be a problem for society as well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"f7fe8dcb-e51a-44ef-be0e-5b552f487598","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Video Transcript"}],"hTag":"h2"}
