Genetic Engineering Anti-technologists and political extremists misinform, and over exaggerate statements that genetic engineering is not part of the natural order of things. The moral question of genetic engineering can be answered by studying human evolution and the idea of survival of the fittes...

The Positive Effects of Gene Altering Since the beginning of the human race, we have been looking. We have been looking for ways to make our lives healthier, more comfortable, and happier. In the beginning it was simple rocks, plants, and fires. As our technology advanced so did the comfort of...

During the past decade, genetic engineering has been a very controversial issue facing our world that ultimately questions our power as humans to control nature.

The world has seen many changes and technological advances over the last century, but possibly none that hold as many possibilities as genetic engineering. Just as computers and plastics have changed most aspects of modern life since they were invented, biological engineering has the potential to d...

Genetic engineering has opened many doors for new sciences to develop. One suchscience is the research and alteration of the food we eat; this is commonly known astransgenic research. Whether through crops or agricultural animals, the common goal isto increase food surplus. Most of the GM (geneti...

Genetically modified food has been a topic of much debate ever since it was first introduced to the market in the early 1990s. Safety issues and economic as well as ecological concerns have been raised by many. While it is evident that there was a food supply issue the question is whether genetical...
