The Possibilities of Genetic Engineering
Summary: The different current and future uses of genetic engineering, which is a procedure in which the structure of genetic material in a living organism is altered. Genetic engineering is capable of curing disease and even enhancing behavior. The potential is there for genetic engineering to be used to create "designer babies."
Genetic engineering is the scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism. Basically that means that genetic engineering is when scientist remove/insert a gene into a living organism. They remove/insert the gene from/into the human, animal, or plant to repair or change something in its DNA structure. Genetic engineering is capable of curing disease and even enhancing ones behavior. It also has its place in changing outward appearance. Therefore I agree with genetic engineering, it's a great tribute to our society and is not a waste of money.
Genetic engineering can fix medical conditions. If the disease is caused by a defective gene scientists then insert a new healthy gene in a virus-like organism. After the new gene is in the virus-like organism they insert it into the cell. Now, both the healthy and defective genes are in the cell, but...
