limits of genetic engineering, and who should decide? Why would anyone want to get sick? Why would anyone want to be born with a low IQ? Why would anyone want to be born with undesirable looks? Genetic modification on the surface seems to be an easy fix to those problems. Everyone can design their own babies and know exactly what they will be good at and what they will look like in 20 years. This is the world of the future. But not the future I want to live in. Although a future with genetic modification

discusses the pros and cons to genetic modification and the potential it has to cure life-threatening genetic diseases. The article addresses the basis of how genetic modification works and the process it undergoes in order to produce successful results. It demonstrates the purpose of a genome editing function called Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and how it was discovered to be the most efficient and effective form of genetic modification. In addition, it touches on

The genetic modification and splicing of genes in living organisms such as plants, microorganisms, animals and food has become a widely controversial topic among many farmers, health consultants, and the general population. These new breeds or organisms have created an immense separation in the food industry, basically splitting people onto sides of organic or non organic. Organically grown and non modified foods have become its own genre of products and are rising in popularity against their modified

The Great Danger of Genetic Modification in Human Beings. According to Ronald Greene in ‘Building Baby from the Genes Up’, “National Institute of Health has come up with a program to build machines with the ability to detect genetic letters in human’s genome.” (Greene, 496) The researchers believe that this will lead to being able to see DNA sequences which could later result in a particular disease or illness in a person. According to Ronald Greene in ‘Building Baby from the Genes Up’, “National

Human Genetic Modification In discussions of human genetic modification (HGM), or human genetic engineering, one controversial issue has been the different points of view of this method. On one hand, scientists and medical professionals argue that HGM is the door to the future; a future where everything will be genetically possible; it will be a big step for science and a leap forward that will help eliminate many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and HIV. On the other hand, sociologists argue

Impact of Genetic Modification of Food on global food marketing Since genetically modified (GM) food has entered the global food market in early mid 1990s and corn, rice, canola oil and soybeans become among the first FDA-approved Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), large companies such as Monsanto, Nestle and PepsiCo experienced cost benefits with these new ingredients and the trend has quickly spread to other sects of the food industry. Genetically modified food can be defined as organisms
