I need to tell you a bit about genetic engineering and cloning. So what is genetic engineering and cloning? Well genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristic of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. While cloning is using this genetic material to produce an exact replica of the original organism. Both these processes have sparked substantial debate amongst groups within society during recent times. Genetic engineering and cloning has become so controversial

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

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
