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

OCR AS Level Ethics Genetic engineering Example of part (b) question (b) “Genetic engineering is ethically justified.” Discuss [10] Since the development of genetic engineering in the 1970s‚ scholars have questioned its ethical justification‚ claiming that it was playing God’ and was unnatural. Others claimed that humans have always altered their environment to benefit themselves. An example is that of genetically modified crops which some people believe can be justified for a number

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
