Genetic engineering is an important issue in society today. Some people think that it will improve people’s lives in many ways. Others feel that it may be a threat to life on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The gene is the life code of human beings and scientists now have the capacity of revealing the secrets of

cipher, and have advanced genetic engineering to new levels. Meanwhile, some people fear that these advances may

lead to global catastrophes. So, there are two camps of thought which I will now discuss

. Advocates of

playing an important role in changing people’s lives.

causes the greatest of arguments. They oppose it, and regard it as an unexpected threat to humans while believing it is a serious ethical issue. Present examples are difficult to explain, but previous experiments done nearly decades, the example of Dolly the sheep being, did indicate that meddling with creating clones was not entirely safe. We
