    Naseer Awan Genetic Engineering should not be encouraged The population of the world is rapidly increasing every year and it is predicted that it will be doubled in the next fifty years. Ensuring an adequate food supply for this growing population is going to be a major challenge for the world in the coming years. Genetic engineers claim that genetically modified foods have numerous characteristics which can meet this global demand. Although genetic engineering technology in agriculture can

    purely a reflection of our DNA. Who we are as a person is not just comprised of our DNA and many other things are a part of it. Allowing genetic engineering in human’s will open a whole new alleyway up for discrimination‚ overpopulation and identity problems in people. First of all discrimination will be the most prominent issue to become apparent if genetic engineering in humans is to go ahead. Just a few decades ago specific ethnicities were frowned upon and belittled depending on the region they

    noun the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Genetic modification caused by human activity has been occurring since humans first domesticated organisms in 12 000 BC. Genetic engineering as the direct transfer of DNA from one organism to another was first accomplished by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1973. Advances have allowed scientists to manipulate and add genes to a variety of different organism and to induce a range of

    Genetic engineering in general Pros|Cons| With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains‚ molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring‚ Basel Biocentre‚ Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ). This new technology will

    After the completion of the Human Genome Project‚ scope for genetic engineering was greatly expanded. Every part of human DNA was mapped and recorded for its role in the DNA. This also made changes in DNA possible‚ allowing scientists to remove or fix any mutations that could lead to harmful consequences. Due to the success of the project it is possible that in a few years couples may even be able to design their children by picking not only their children’s physical appearance but also their children’s

    Gattaca Essay Through his film Gattaca‚ Andrew Niccol shows that the ‘not-so-distant future’ of genetic engineering is not as superior as it seems. A time where children are engineered from conception is imminent. An obvious benefit of such a world is the ability to eliminate all genetic flaws from diseases to deformities. While this may seem like a utopian society Niccol suggests that the more technologically advanced man becomes‚ the more human spirit is lost. He also implies that man can never

    obstacles are overcome. One main obstacle is the complexity of the relationship between DNA and human traits. Will we ever know which genes influence intelligence and master how to manipulate them? However‚ as computer technology and understanding of genetic increases‚ it may only be a matter of time before a number of human gene-trait relations are defined clearly. Another obstacle is the ethics of human experimentation. Failures in human experiments should not be accepted‚ so confirmation of the
