Genetic Engineering useful or Harmful There are many issues which are associated with genetic engineering such as Cystic Fibrosis etc. Genes now days are being used in many ways for example they are now putting them in Plants to prevent them being destroyed by animals. It is very useful such as if there is a disease in a family and you want to prevent it to spreading the only way to do that is genetic engineering they can modify your genes and stop that disease to occur in your baby.

are caused by an abnormality in a person’s genome or genetic material. It is a disease that is passed down through several generations within the same family and is transmitted from a parent to their child. An example of a hereditary disease is cystic fibrosis.
