INTRODUCTION
Nothing in this world is perfect, maybe close to perfection would be acceptable. But none the less, everything in this we know of has fatal flaws. Nature has told us again and again that everything we know of is imperfect and is bound by limitations. No matter how much improvements we make; even though we spend countless decades of our lives, we would never exceed those limitations. This briefly summarizes the case on genetic engineering. Many experts and aficionados have dedicated their careers just to know more about genetics, but the more discoveries they make, the more complex this technology becomes. These complexities have served as a light to raise questions regarding their discoveries. Uncertainty has then settled in to our minds after hearing the questions which are terrifying. This research paper aims to inform its readers what genetic engineering is, the contributions it has made into our society, both improvements and regressions, and the precautions we must be aware of.
Abstract
In the conquest towards the future, we will encounter many different things. They are there to either help us and make our future a prosperous or on
