"Genetic Engineering is the use of several methods to manipulate the DNA of cells to alter hereditary traits or to produce biological products". There are many practices that fall under the study of Genetic Engineering, these include: cloning, stem cell research, gene therapy, gene splicing, as well as many others. Scientists have come up with many uses of genetic engineering, it can be used to repair a genetic defect, enhance an effect already natural to an organism, increase resistance to many diseases, and enable an organism to do something that it normally wouldnt do.
In todays society there is a large percentage of people that are opposed to the research of genetic engineering. Ethical issues are the primary reason people are highly against genetic engineering. For example, many believe that when cloning a human being with an identical genetic code, it would violate the basic human dignity and destroy the individuals uniqueness. ... Another concern is with scientists performing experiments with genetically engineered food is often associated with that of "playing the role of God" (Hines).
