Discussions about it is increasingly heated around the world.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved; therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (壽命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthier and cleverer children. Some families have genetic diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice, sheep and dogs; therefore, these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control, leading to some disastrous consequences. But many people believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe measures will be taken to control the gene technology.參考范文：Gene technology is now a hot topic worldwide. (要點(diǎn)1) It can help people cure deadly diseases and allow them to live a happier and longer life with better economic conditions.
