Genetic engineering

Required reading.
Credit for writing.


Read the story about the low fat pigs. Find some resources, either web based or not, about genetic engineering. It should either summarize a technique or provide your opinion on a specific genetic engineering topic. Cite properly.

For example: do you think we should add genes to crops so that they are resistant to herbicides? Farmers can then use very harsh weed killers and their crops would survive without inhibition from weeds. Why is this is a good/bad thing?

I think that genetic engineering is beneficial and necessary to discover new facts about the genetic compostion and material of living things. I do feel that genetic engineering should be carefully observed to ensure that some experiments do not get out of hand. Without genetic engineering, we would not be able to go further in depth in our teachings og DNA and genetics.-Bree
