say who can and can’t genetically alter their body if they had the chance to? Genetic engineering is the only possibly way to make that happen for people. If this was applicable for human use than the world would as we all know it would change. As of right now though this is only being currently being tested on plants and animals such as: flowers‚ corn mushrooms‚ mice‚ pigs and monkeys. When genetic engineering can be perfected then humans can be altered to cure diseases‚ fix deformities before birth

Genetic engineering (GE) is also known‚ as genetic modification is the process of organisms that are genetically modified. In this process the goal is to transfer new DNA to an organism so it can improve its habits and make new cells. Genes are inserted from E.g. Corn‚ this term is known as cross breeding where different plants are modified to grow bigger plants and to produce more food. When a gene transfer occurs‚ the gene is then called a GMO (Genetically modified organism)‚ Genetic engineering

I need to tell you a bit about genetic engineering and cloning. So what is genetic engineering and cloning? Well genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristic of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. While cloning is using this genetic material to produce an exact replica of the original organism. Both these processes have sparked substantial debate amongst groups within society during recent times. Genetic engineering and cloning has become so controversial

Endless possibilities in Genetic Engineering Within a short period of time‚ genetic engineering has turned into one of the biggest growth areas in scientific research. It appears regularly in the media although the general public has no idea the meaning. It is currently one of the most sensitive areas of ethical debate. We are growing day by day in the increase of scientific discoveries. “The federal budget in 2003 included $24.8 million dollars for human embryonic stem cell research-up
