technological advancements to society and these have also contributed to the current genetic revolution‚ which promises to do for life what computers did for information. This increasing power and accessibility may one day give parents the option of genetically engineering the "designer baby". This may be used to spare the unborn from disease or‚ possibly‚ make them tall‚ intelligent and blessed with any desirable traits.

to another. This is called “genetic engineering.” Genetic engineering also refers to the artificial modification of the genetic code of any living organism. Genetic engineering changes the original physical nature of the organism‚ sometimes in ways that would never occur in nature. Genes from one organism are inserted in another organism‚ most often across natural species boundaries. Some of the effects become known‚ but most do not. There are some examples of genetic engineering that have created

Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that useshomologous recombination to
