Dangerous Knowledge: Genetic Engineering

Some knowledge can be dangerous. As new ways to improve human life through science are emerging, this has been revealed by the rapid increase in recent technology advances. Even today, there are ways to change the genetic makeup of organisms, which are becoming ever more sophisticated everyday. This kind of knowledge has power, and if people use it in the wrong way, it will bring disastrous results. But although powerful, it does not mean that the danger of all knowledge benefiting from new technology can have many benefits like the ability to change such a human genome .

Genetic engineering is an anticipated modification of the genetic makeup of organisms. Since there is no ongoing research on this topic or action, it is not certain whether it is harmless or not. Genetic engineering is not safe, as scientists do not have absolute knowledge of life systems. Therefore, they can not do DNA surgery without mutation. Any interference with the genetic makeup of organisms can lead to permanent damage, genetic defects, shortage of nutritious foods, or expansion of dangerous diseases.

However, critics say genetic engineering is dangerous. In 1997, pictures of mice that the human ear seemed to stretch from the back brought strong resistance to the use of genetic engineering. However, mice are not the result of genetic engineering, and in their ears there are no human cells. According to the National Science Foundation, the National Science Foundation created it by embedding a mold made of biodegradable mesh under the age of 3 years old. A method for producing cartilage tissue in a laboratory.

Genetics is science to study all aspects of genetic traits. Genetic engineering is the application of genetic knowledge to change the genetic makeup of organisms (Levin). While many historical people have contributed to the development of sophisticated genetic engineering techniques used today, their commercial and social benefits outperform the moral dilemmas they make up. Genetic engineering can give hope to people with genetic diseases like intractable diseases at first glance, to address hunger in the third world countries, and to provide a means to destroy dangerous nuclear waste. However, some people exploit the ability of genetic engineering to obscure many of its benefits. "Genetic engineering is the most impressive - in a sense it is one of the most feared accomplishments of the 20th century; it will affect everyone" (Edelson 46)
