This controversially technology could be looked at two ways, one religiously and the other, scientifically and economically. First, let’s take a religious point of view on GE. With the current knowledge we have today in GE, life can easily be created and manipulated to one’s

Next, is the scientific view. One goal of GE is to make products more efficient. Many food and non-food plants have been experimented on and released into the environment. This is especially dangerous because scientists are not fully sure of what could go wrong. A genetically altered crop or plant could become dominant and take over all of the its like species, consequently, reducing plant diversity. This can cause plant vulnerability to pests that can target the one dominant crop. There have been many cases where non-indigenous plants introduced into a different environment served no use and became major pest problems. However even more dangerous than altered plants are genetically altered humans. The functions of all the genes are not known, only those of a very small percentage of the total genes in organisms such as humans. So why would a scientist take a risk, not knowing the full potential of dangers it might cause, such as having an adverse effect on other genes?

To conclude, Genetic Engineering is a tool that is too powerful for humankind to handle. It is too dangerous and raises many moral and ethical issues. Do we want to perfect ourselves to the point of immortality? We, mere mortals, have not developed the social and mental sophistication to reconcile the ethical issues of GE effectively. As has been the case for many successful generations
