The direct manipulation of an organism’s genome through biotechnology, or genetic engineering, is a promising development for humankinds future. Although it has the unmatched potential to end hereditary illnesses, increase food yields, and lengthen human life, it also brings up ethical questions and may have unintended repercussions.
Further more, genetic engineering advanced medicine by raising the possibility of novel cures for terminal illnesses. A closely connected technology to this topic is gene therapy, which modifies an organism’s genetic makeup to produce insulin, a breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes.
Moreover, genetic engineering increases crop yields and gives bug and pest resistance in agriculture. Plants that are more resilient and prolific can be produced by introducing different genes.
First of all, genetic engineering nowadays is something that is extremely interesting. Well, just even thinking about it is mindblowing. Imagine a human being, with flawless aspect and perfect traits. That would be impossible if we were in nineteenth-century society. Manipulating the traits of your offspring sounds astonishing isn’t it?
However,as genetic engineering has revolutionized medicine by enabling the development of new treatments for previously incurable diseases, there is certainly some downsides of controlling the genetics of organisms such as accidentally creating a sickness which we have no cure or even causing harm to the ecosystem. Playing with the genetics may cause several diseases for both the host and its bloodline. So if that is the case, we must tread carefully to avoid irreversible damage.
Genetic engineering also affects biodiversity, which all the different kinds of life you will find in one area. Preserving the biodiversity is one of the most significant things we must accomplish. Because if we don’t maintain the biodiversity, we may not enconter so many animals during our lives. Comprehend a world that there is just two types of animals which aer humans and cows. That would not be nice in my opinion.
In conclusion, genetic engineering is a promising developement and which we should definately implement and improve, but we have to protect and reserve the biodiversity of organisms and also we must look out for creating new diseases.
