What are the arguments for genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering can cause side affects unknown to humans. And it is messing with nature and the way of human life


What are the benefit to humans brought about by genetic engineering?

The ability to defy gravity is one ability that has not been brought about by genetic engineering. There are many others. Free chocolate for everyone is another.interferon


What is the implication of technology of genetic engineering to modern man?

· Genetic engineering may be one of the greatest breakthroughs in recent history alongside the discovery of the atom and space flight, however, with the above eventualities and facts above in hand, governments have produced legislation to control what sort of experiments are done involving genetic engineering. In the UK there are strict laws prohibiting any experiments involving the cloning of humans. However, over the years here are some of the experimental 'breakthroughs' made possible by genetic engineering.


What are the views of Christians on genetic engineering?

Most Christians view genetic engineering as playing god. What they lack to understand is that their god created the Cosmos, sparked life, and designed that life. We humans are not designing life itself, but instead altering under the laws of life and nature.


What does the term genetic engineering refer to?

From the Web site of safe-food.org, genetic engineering is "a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms." Put another way, genetic engineering is "the alteration of genetic code using artificial means" (from www.globalchange.com). Genetic engineering is also called bio-engineering, gene-splicing, gene manipulation, etc. and the organisms that result from the practice are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Should genetic improvements be done on humans?

Yes, but only for the treatment and overcome the deadly disease.


When humans manipulate the genes of microotganisms the process is called?

Genetic engineering. It involves modifying the genetic material of an organism by adding, removing, or changing specific genes to produce desired characteristics. This can be done to create organisms with useful traits, such as increased disease resistance or improved nutrient production.


Could modern man been the result of genetic engineering?

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the idea that modern humans are the result of genetic engineering by extraterrestrial beings or other advanced civilizations. The evolutionary history of humans can be traced through fossil records, genetic studies, and anthropological evidence, showing that humans evolved over millions of years from common ancestors with other primates.

Will it ever be possible to speed up the genetic-evolutionary proccess?

When humans breed animals or plants, they are speeding up evolution to create organisms that are more useful to them. Also, genetic engineering could do the same thing (although I am strongly against genetic engineering and it would take me a long time to explain why). The long and the short of it is "Yes."


How are transgenic bacteria useful to humans?

Transgenic bacteria are useful to humans for producing valuable substances such as insulin, enzymes, and vaccines through genetic engineering. They can also be used in environmental cleanup by breaking down pollutants or producing biofuels. Additionally, transgenic bacteria can help in research to study gene function and disease mechanisms.
