    Genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an organism's genome using biotechnology techniques such as removing or adding genes. It has important applications such as preventing hereditary diseases, treating infections, engineering desirable plant and animal traits, and reducing threats like global warming. A genetically modified organism is one that has been generated through genetic engineering techniques. Some of the first GMOs included bacteria in 1973 and GM mice in 1974. Genetically modified foods have been commercially available since 1994. However, genetic engineering raises ethical issues about altering life created by God and humanity's role as good stewards of the planet.

    GENETIC

    ENGINEERING

    Genetic engineering
    also called genetic
    modification, is the direct
    manipulation of an organism's
    genome using biotechnology

    removing genes
    assessing the success of
    these

    new

    combinations.

    IMPORTANCE

    Disease could be prevented by


    detecting
    people/plants/animals
    that are genetically prone to
    certain hereditary diseases, and
    preparing for the inevitable.

    Infectious diseases can


    be treated by implanting
    genes that code for
    antiviral proteins specific
    to each antigen.

    Animals and plants


    can be
    'tailor
    made' to show desirable
    characteristics.

    Genes could also be


    manipulated in trees for
    example, to absorb more
    2
    CO and reduce the threat
    of global warming.

    Genetic Engineering could increase


    genetic diversity, and produce more
    variant alleles which could also be
    crossed over and implanted into
    other species.

    TRANSGENICS
    is one of the specific genetic
    engineering processes that remove
    genetic material from one species of
    plant or animal and add it to a
    different species.

    An organism that is generated


    through genetic engineering is
    considered to be a
    genetically modified organism (GMO).

    The first GMOs were bacteria in 1973


    GM mice were generated in 1974.
    Insulin-producing bacteria were
    commercialized in 1982
    Genetically modified food has been
    sold since 1994.

    ETHICAL ISSUES

    Everything here on earth

    was created by God with


    unique characteristics and
    every time he is done
    with creating God
    declared it was good.

    God gave mankind knowledge

    so we can nurture and develop


    things for our life. Genetic
    engineering is one of those
    knowledge but unless human
    became good steward
    everything will be futile.
