The potential costs, risks and benefits of genetic modification
Genetic modification is the process of removing one piece of DNA from a gene in one organism and transferring it a vector in another organism. Genetic modification alters the genetic material of that organism using recombinant DNA technology. Transgenic organisms are organisms which DNA that has been inserted into it has come from another species. Genetic modification involves the changing of the genetic material of an organism. You cut a gene form an organism using enzymes, and then transfer it to the cell of a completely different organism.
There is a lot of controversy surrounding genetic modification based on whether it is moral or right to be doing such a thing to plants and animals. Some people may think it as interfering and meddling with the natural biological order of life. They would be against genetic modification as they think that it is an intolerable experiment and unnatural.
