Virtually every crop we eat have undergone hundreds of years of genetic modification by farmers and scientist in search of desirable traits. Selective breeding and hybrid strains have contributed immeasurably to farm productivity during this time. Over the past 30 years however‚ genetic engineering has been revolutionized. While before‚ a farmer wanting to develop a frost resistant tomato would be able to breed towards one only if the necessary genes were available somewhere in tomatoes or a near

manipulation‚ also referred to as Genetic Engineering‚ is the manipulation of genomes of humans using biotechnology. This process allows people to choose certain genes such as hair color‚ eye color‚ and to produce a child in their favor. Although designer babies are becoming more popular today‚ there are certain precautions that should be taken towards the manipulation of human genomes using biotechnology‚ and many people struggle with the concept of designing a child.

of partially human chimeras that have already been developed to replicate human tissue for medical purposes. Partially human chimeras are organisms containing a mixture of different genetic tissues (1). Genetics chimeras are created by use of biotechnology (2) and are used to grow human organs that can be used for transplants. Examples of chimeras that can replicate human tissue are rats that have human kidneys‚ taken from aborted fetuses‚ implanted into them so that they can grow (3). Also‚ genetically-engineered

Although it is historically known by scientists all over the world that cloning is originally a thing of nature‚ July 5‚ 1996 is a day recorded in history that many will never forget. On that day‚ at approximately 5:00 p.m.‚ a sheep named Dolly entered the world. Dolly was a genetically engineered clone from the cells of an adult six-year old sheep. The process‚ known as nuclear transplantation‚ was created by a team of scientists led by Dr. Ian Wilmut at Roslin Institute in Roslin‚ Scotland.

Biotechnology is “the manipulation of biological systems and organisms through technological means”(p. 471). There is tension between valuing liberty to pursue happiness of biotechnologies‚ and the potential negative outcomes of these technologies. Bioengineering‚ is the construction of machines to alter or supplement organisms. Biotechnologies result
