Genetic engineering uses genetic material harvested from foetal stem cell. These stem cells can be acquired from 'spare' or 'waste' IVF embryos; aborted foetuses; and cloned embryonic material. The ethical debate centres around the sources of stem cells. Utilitarianism would look favourably upon Genetic Engineering, as Somatic therapy can be used to find many cures for various diseases, therefore achieving the greatest good for the majority of people. As this teleological argument focuses on consequence and the greatest good for the greatest number, it could be argued that the decision to fertilise an egg by Genetic engineering in the process of IVF for example is moral, as the happiness of the couple outweighs that of the embryo they are discarding. Embryo experimentation has the potential to find cures to many serious and currently incurable diseases, such as Alzheimer's; Huntingdon's; Diabetes; Parkinson's. This potential has led to increased support from the utilitarian approach for its authorisation. As a result of the fact that the foetus is destroyed after 'engineering' at 14 days (before it becomes 'sentient') means Utilitarian arguments are in favour of it.
Do your OWN work.
Short Answer is: our understanding of genetic engineering.
Since genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes, genetics is the utmost importance in genetic engineering or any form of genetic technology. The knowledge of the genetics must be present for experiments to work.

an example of genetic engineering are like: Cloning IVF

AnswerThe three types of genetic engineering are:Applied genetic engineering which includes cloning and transgenesis.Chemical genetic engineering which includes genes mapping, gene interaction, and genes codingAnalytical genetic engineering which includes computer mapping.
Genetic Engineering.
Genetic Engineering is the study and application of genetics for a better life/future. Genetic engineering can be used to produce medicines & to improve food crops. Researchers are also using genetic engineering to try to cure human genetic disorders.
Gene transfer, this type of process is mostly covered in the topic of genetic engineering
