Genetic engineering is the human’s control into an organism’s genetic make-up by alteration of the genetic content such as the DNA of humans‚ which does not occur in natural conditions. Various techniques are used to prepare recombined parts of DNA from other organisms back to the origin. Genetic engineering is a type of selective breeding. Genetic Modification is very controversial. Individuals have their own personal beliefs regarding this field of research. There are great benefits to genetic
