Genetic Engineering Do you think that Genetic engineering is a positive step in our development? Many people think that genetic engineering is the next step in the evolution of humanity and has many benefits. However‚ genetic engineering presents unprecedented ethical and social concerns‚ such as damaging nature‚ limiting human autonomy and risking to human health. First of all‚ genetic engineering can cause widespread crop failure affecting the natural environment. Nowadays‚ many people think

AmirAshkan Semyary By using the techniques of genetic engineering scientists are able to modify genetic materials so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell. It is necessary to obtain a gene to modify genetic material. First a scientist isolates plasmid DNA from bacteria and DNA carrying a gene of interest from cells of another organism‚ such as an animal. A piece of DNA containing the gene is inserted into a plasmid‚ producing recombinant DNA
