GENETIC ENGINEERING

GENETIC ENGINEERING IS A MAJOR ISSUE IN TODAY'S SOCIETY.BECAUSE PF IT,THINGS LIKE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT HAVE BECOME A RELITY.GENETIC ENGINEERING IS CAN BE DEFINED AS THE MANIPULATION OR ALTERATION OF THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF A SINGLE CELL OR ORGANISM.THIS MEANS THE SCIENTIST CAN TARGET A PARTICULAR GENE AND MAKE IT WHATEVER THEY WANT.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 COMPLICATED TO PERFORM.SIMPLY STATE SCIENTIST MAY ALTER ANY GENE THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT BETTER THEN IT WAS BEFORE.
GENETIC ENGINEERING HOLDS MANY PREMISES FOR THE FUTURE.IT BRINGS WITH IT POSSIBILITIES OF LONGER,HEALTIER,LIVES AND POSSIBLY NEAR-IMMORTALIT.IT HAS THE POSSIBILITIES OF ENDING WORLD HUNGER BY MAKING CHEAPER,MORE NUTRITIOUS AND FASTER GROWING FOODS.HOWEVER GENETICALLY ENGINEERING FOOD COULD REDUCE GENETIC DIVERSITY CAUSING THE FOOD TO BE MORE PRONE TO DISEASE.NOT ONLY DOES IT.REDUCE GENETIC DIVERSITY BUT IT IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS.
