Genetic Engineering INTRODUCTION Genetic Engineering Involves methods‚ techniques‚ and procedures used in gene manipulation. Furthermore‚ it Involves isolation‚ manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into cells or model organisms‚ usually to express a protein to reach desired effects. Aim: to introduce new characteristics or attributes physiologically or physically Such as: making a crop resistant to herbicide‚ introducing a novel trait‚ enhancing existing ones‚ or producing a new protein

Nutrition is important for an individual’s health and body. Although‚ nutrition is especially important for woman when they are pregnant. When a woman is pregnant‚ she is now not only just caring for her health‚ but also her fetus’s health. According to Santrock (2016)‚ “A developing embryo or fetus depends completely on its mother for nutrition‚ which comes from the blood" (p.57). When a woman is negligent of her health it can be harmful to the fetus. Nutrients and other small molecules from the

resources. Sir Frances Galton‚ introduced the term "eugenics"‚ and is regarded as the founder of the modern science eugenics (Bennett). Earlier means of achieving these goals focused on selective breeding while more modern ones focus on prenatal testing and screening‚ genetic counseling‚ birth control‚ in-vitro fertilization‚ and genetic engineering. Critics argue that eugenics is immoral and is based on or is a pseudoscience. In the past‚ eugenics has been used as a justification for coercive state-sponsored
