Genetic Engineering

Asked Feb 20, 2009, 01:57 PM — 18 Answers
Should Genetic Engineering be allowed? What about with plants and animals? In my opinion and from pictures that I have seen, I don't think it's right to do at all. I don't know what do you think?

Recombinant DNA technology may be able to improve our quality of life should we need assistance in the distant future to survive a cataclysmic event. I give it a thought in passing when the subject is brought up in conversation. I prefer not to discuss it and change the subject.

It seems to be a volatile conversation piece nowadays.

I think that it should be discussed. If we keep ignoring it, genetic engineering will keep being pursued and before we know it, genetic engineering may lead to our destruction. I don't know. Genetic Engineering does have many advantages and it can help us out in many ways but I don't know...

Well, estefania, you are drawing everyone into a discussion on this.Be prepared to defend your views It may be a good topic for here, may not be. We are a diverse bunch of members here. I steer away from anything that may involve ethical questions. Which yours seems to be. Sorry just my opinion.

Yea sorry. I see what your saying, but the only reason I bring this topic up is because of school. I need to write a paper on it and I have no idea what to say on the subject. Id like to avoid it too but if I do that I will get a failing grade and I can't have that lol that would be very bad : (

We have strict rules here on homework questions, estefania. There are several sources on the net to access the information you want. This is not the way to write your paper actually. Start by google 'genetic engineering', that will lead you to other sources. Digging for this type of information on the net is the most interesting and nformative way I know of discovering new viewpoints.

Estefania, stick around a while within the forum and probably we can all benefit from your opinions and education. We always need informed decisions. Some could probably benefit from you.

We've been doing it for thousands of years already in the form of selective breeding, why get all wound up just because we have a more efficient technology to do it with?
