Why can most humans accept mechanical soaring but not genetic modification?

Personally, I think most human beings can accept mechanical soaring, but they can't accept genetic modification, because mechanical soaring only affects themselves, while genetic modification affects themselves and their descendants, even all mankind.

How can I put it? To understand why most humans can accept mechanical soaring but not genetic modification, we must first understand what mechanical soaring is and what genetic modification is. Mechanical soaring can be simply understood as: strengthening the human body by adding external armor, just like the world depicted in Cyberpunk: 2077, when people wear it? Semantic style? , make their own strength. Of course, you can also understand that artificial limbs for the disabled belong to mechanical soaring, but this is the lowest level. Genetic modification is even simpler, starting with human cells, artificially modifying genes and making us become? Superman? . Everyone who has studied high school biology knows that genes can be inherited, that is to say, if they are genetically modified, then we will pass them on to future generations and even affect all mankind, so most people can't accept genetic modification, because carelessness will bring all mankind to destruction.

There is a saying that I can accept mechanical soaring because it affects my life at most, whether it is good or bad; Genetically modified is different. Genetically modified will affect generations. The most important thing is that there is no possibility of genetic modification. Your mechanical ascension failed, and you can recover it, but your genetic modification failed, and basically you have to wait until you die. Moreover, in order to prevent you from influencing others, you are likely to be destroyed humanely, because genes can be inherited. Therefore, don't genetically modify it easily. With our human technology, there is no way to accomplish this feat. Modifying any gene may bring unimaginable consequences to all mankind.

Generally speaking, because the risk of genetic modification is too great, many people can't accept it in order to avoid affecting all mankind.
