Genetic engineering involves the modification of the hereditary structures of living organisms and food products in order to endow the substance with certain traits that may please more of them. Other desired features regarding the Human Genome Project scientists made a scientific breakthrough. Scientists are now able to create synthetic organs for transplant and prevent disease by manipulating genes. According to Grocery Manufacturers of America, 70 to 75 percent of processed foods contain genetically modified ingredients derived from plants. Cure of diseases and longer life expectancy are now distant. Additionally, the benefits include using a smaller amount of resources to feed a growing nation. Citizens who do not support biogenetics have concerns about ethics, safety and disease, which is why GMOs should be limited to non-existent.Research/ResultsGenetic engineering questions ethics itself . In "Case Against Perfection" by Michael J. Sandal, the author includes several statements such as "manipulate our own nature" and "to make ourselves better" to explain what any type of person can do to improve themselves. With genetic engineering becoming more and more involved, it is implausible to avoid it, but as a race, humans have the ability to see what is right and what is wrong. For example, a competitor may feel the need to increase physical aspects that improve their ability to perform at the next level. This is clearly false and may seem unfair to a natural competitor and "degrades the game and the dignity of the player", as described in "Tinkering with Humans" by William Saletan by modifying deoxyribonucleic acid. Additionally, reshaping born-to-be traits may become the next huge skill enhancer such as creatine. Another controversial topic is cloning...... middle of article ......b. May 18. 2014.4.
