=//__What is Genetic Engineering??__//    =

Genetic engineering uses the techniques of molecular cloning and transformation. Genetic engineering endeavors have found some success in improving crop technology, the manufacture of synthetic human insulin through the use of modified bacteria, the manufacture of erythropoietin in Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the oncomouse (cancer mouse) for research. = = =//__What is__ __Human Genetic Engineering__////__??__// =

Human genetic engineering is the genetic engineering of humans by modifying the genotype of the unborn individual to control what traits it will possess when born.

=//__The Problems!!__// =

 There are many arguments against human genetic engineering, including the established safety issues, the loss of identity and individuality, and human diversity. With therapeutic cloning, not only, but you add all the moral and religious issues related to the willful killing of human embryos. Maybe the greatest concern of all is that man would become simply another man-made thing. As with any other man-made thing, the designer "stands above, not as an equal but as a superior, transcending it by his will and creative prowess." The cloned child will be dehumanized.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">Genetic engineering of humans can be an extremely positive innovation or an unimaginably destructive one depending on how it is regulated. While there are obvious benefits to being able to control gene content and expression in humans, such as the elimination of genetic disease, and the ability to make humans “better”. more resistant to disease, grow slower, smarter.But there are many dangerous downsides as well. If people live longer in the future, will Earth become overcrowded? If science can control genes to make “better” people, what if that this ability be used for bad intentions? Maybe creating extremely violent people to be used as soldiers, or very strong and unintelligent people to be use as slaves?
