The present consensus is that geneticenhancement is ethically unacceptable. The final chapter on geneticenhancement is particularly enjoyable. Geneticenhancement is not inherently immoral nor is genetic therapy inherently moral. What is particularly concerning about geneticenhancement is the potential speed of change. The commercial pressures for geneticenhancement may make the momentum for change irresistible. There is nothing special in this regard about geneticenhancement technology. In conclusion, geneticenhancement is not clearly an evil deserving of outright prohibition. Some types of genetic therapy are morally acceptable while some types of geneticenhancement are unacceptable. There may be ways in which geneticenhancement can achieve greater justice, but other routes should not be excluded. It is not clear what effect geneticenhancement will have on this process of learning through struggle. Geneticenhancement is only theoretically possible in humans through germline therapy, which is illegal in all respects in all countries.

Even if we lack an uncontroversial account of disease, we could still ask whether either of the two basic approaches would condemn geneticenhancement unconditionally. Geneticenhancement is also a means by which one generation can seek to control the next, for the dead to control the living. Such topics as embryonic stem cell research, therapeutic cloning, germ line gene therapy, genetic enhancement, and xenotransplantation all raise ethical issues worth careful exploration. Alternatively, geneticenhancement might increase height, but eventually a ceiling would be reached beyond which height could not be increased further. Another distinction is between gene therapy intervention targeted at an identifiable disease and intervention targeted at "improving" natural features, usually referred to as geneticenhancement or quality improvement. I will argue that the distinction does not mark a firm boundary between moral and immoral genetic interventions, and that geneticenhancement is not inherently immoral. In the current debate in bioethics, several writers have attempted to use the concepts of health and disease to distinguish between genetic therapy and geneticenhancement. The upshot of this section is that we have once again debunked several arguments that might be construed as proving that geneticenhancement is inherently wrong. Possible regulatory schemes include a complete ban of geneticenhancement, provision of genetic enhancement procedures to everyone, or a system of professional self-regulation.
