Genetic engineering is the use of tools of modern biotechnology and molecular biology to specifically introduce or alter characteristics or traits in organisms. Genetic engineering can be applied to any organism. An example of genetic engineering is inserting a gene to a plant that makes it more resistant to pesticides. Many people have debated whether or not the use of genetic enginering poses a risk or not to society. I am against the use of genetic engineering because it negatively impacts humans

Gene therapy is an experimental treatment‚ which is used to replace mutated‚ improperly functioning genes with regular DNA. There are several gene therapy methods‚ most of which involve using a vector to transport the corrected gene into targeted cells. Retroviruses‚ adenoviruses‚ adeno associated viruses and liposomes are commonly used as vectors. Naked DNA (DNA without a vector) has also been used in gene therapy. Recently‚ gene therapy has been used as a treatment for deadly genetic conditions
