Genetic Engineering is a major issue in today's society.Because of it,things like the Human Genome Project have become a reality.Genetic Engineering is can be defined as the manipulation or altereration of the genetic structure of a single cell or organism.This means that scientist can target a particular gene and make it whatever they wantt.This technique is becoming so advance that soon people will be able to make their children exactly how they would like them to be.The science behind genetic engineering is simple to explain yet comlicated to perform.Simply state,scientists may alter any gene they would like to make it better then it was before.Genetic Engineering holds many promisses for the future.It has the possibilities of ending world hunger by making cheaper,momre nutritious and faster growing foods.It could also have the ability to bring back species from near extinction and even reintroduce recently extinct spesies back to our worl by using old DNA.With genetic engineering,we would have the ability to clone a lovedone or a fovorite pet.It would also givw us the ability to grom replacement organs,limbs,skin,or virtually any other body oart,making transplant rejection a thing of the past. Not only has genetic enngineering affected the peoople of the world,it has also affected the agriculture.Genetic Engineering is being used to create the perfect vetagble or the perfect fruit.A lot the food people eat today has been genetically engineered and most without them knowing it.However genetically engineered food isnt exactlyperfect.Genetically engineering food could reduce genetic diversity causing the foof to be more prone to diseases.Not only does it reduce genetic diversity but it is also an expensive process.Even though this could be a potential end a hunger,there has not been adequate.
