Negative Although genetic engineering may seem like the key to a healthy‚ disease free population not enough is known about genetic engineering‚ and human genes to make it safe. The human genome is very complicated‚ often times one sequence of genes has control over multiple different physical attributes of a person‚ this means that by altering one gene sequence scientists could very easily accidentally alter multiple different attributes of humans. Also scientists have discovered that even when

there are many debates from education reform‚ finance reform‚ gender and racial equity to genetic engineering and cloning. Many of these issues can be related back to nineteenth-century American literatures. For example‚ the debate over genetic engineering and cloning can be related to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark”. Genetic engineering and cloning has been a heated debate for a long time. Genetic engineering may work wonders but it is after all a process of manipulating the nature. A similar situation

GENETIC ENGINEERING IS BENEFICIAL TO MANKIND We‚ Homo sapiens (and every other organism on the planet)‚ become what we are on the basis of the genes we inherit from our parents at the time of our birth. Whether you are tall‚ short‚ dark‚ dusky or fair‚ have great hair‚ good health - everything depends on these genes. Earlier these genes were believed to be ’tamper proof’ and they could not be manipulated. But the human brain and contemporary science does not deem anything as impossible. Thus

effects (ex. mutations). Others say that genetic modification is absolutely acceptable since the changes create a stronger‚ healthier organism in the long run. In my paper‚ I will show you how the advantages of genetic modification greatly outweigh the disadvantages. Genetic engineering is a new technology‚ a fresh opportunity to better our world and is perfectly acceptable when regulated and used responsibly. Before diving into the world of genetic engineering‚ it is essential to learn what DNA is
