Genetic engineering is the incorporation of a new gene into another organism’s genome for a certain benefit which may include treatment of diseases‚ manufacturing of drugs‚hormones etc.‚ and production of foods.It started in early 1900’s‚ but scientists at that time did not practice ethics but as time went by ethical issues were addressed with the evolution of International organizations such as the United Nations. lt has been beneficiary to our society especially in the food production industries

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

Future Course ( Engineering) When I was young‚ I had a dream that looking for a purpose for my life and because I want to fulfill them in the future. Before‚ I would like to be a teacher for high school because I think it would be a lot of fun in a way or be an elementary teacher because i love kids. I also wanted to be an accountant before because I really liked math and counting moneys. But now that I am being matured‚ I didn’t expect that I would love to study different units of engineering

acceptable reason given for genetic engineering is its potential use in preventative medicine. A few cells from an embryo could be genetically analyzed to detect harmful mutation or predisposition towards disorder‚ at which point action could be taken either through somatic cell or germ-line gene modification. In 1993‚ the gene that causes Huntington’s Disease was located‚ and scientists are currently trying to determine its normal function (The Benefits of Genetic Engineering). Assuming researchers succeed

Genetic engineering (GE) is a recently developed technology that allows the alteration of the genetic make up of living organisms. This technology allows scientists not only to exchange genes from members of the same species‚ which is what farmers and nature has been doing through out history‚ but also the exchange of genes between completely separate species. For example genetic engendering allows scientists to insert the genes from a fish into a tomato‚ something that can never happen in nature

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
