Is scientific engineering for good or evil?

Gattaca soley represents the ideas of humanity for the advancement in science. There is the view that genetic engineering is the futuristic investment of human life and we see be "perfect" as a normality. The other view is that God made us in His image and we are not perfect because we have fallen short of God yet we are all the same in His eyes. Is our world perfect? It was originally made to be [Genesis 1] yet sin has entered our once perfect world and has turned society upside down so to speak. In my opinion genetic engineering is an attempt to recreate a world and socitey in which everything shall be "perfect" and that might seem okay, we might cure diseases that have never been cured before, but how long will this rate of advancement last? The fate of scientific engineering is the fear that it will eventually be abused and we will be the obsessed people that want to be nothing but perfect as viewed in Gattaca. In conclusion, genetic engineering may benefit to a certian extent, but how long will it be before it is under a tyrannic control?
