Can Genetic Engineering Create The Perfect Race?


At some time in our lives, we have all heard of some form of genetic engineering whether it was on the news, at school or in the workplace. Most people do not realise just how much time and money is now going into creating solutions to our everyday problems using genetic engineering, problems such as our food crops being destroyed by viruses. But it doesn’t just stop there. Genetic engineering is now going much further than just solving everyday problems. Scientists are now trying to solve deeper problems. For example, they are trying to create perfect crops and livestock for farmers and even perfect children for parents.

Genetic engineering refers to the technologies that are being used to change the genetic make-up of cells and transfer genes from one species to another.

Genes are complex chemical units contained within chromosomes. They determine the characteristics of an organism.
