Genetic Engineering: The Future
#1
Human Cloning:
Human cloning has been an issue of debate since many years now. It is considered both unethical and controversial in all societies at the moment. There are a few people who support human cloning and, therefore, it is believed that even though people are uneasy and against human cloning, it will still occur somewhere in the future if not the near future though it does seem very awesome in the movies.

Though human cloning may seem to be a serious issue under the umbrella of genetic engineering, but it has many used in areas such as medicine, industry, and agriculture. Many more foods are being considered to be genetically modified which may or may not be beneficial for the human health as not all traits of an organism would pass on to the next generation. For example fish genes can be combined with a type of produce and the produce would not take on any physical or otherwise characters of the fish, except for maybe growth or such. It is believed that genetic engineering may be good for the quantity of food but certainly not the quality as it may have negative effects on health.
Genetic engineering has a major role in medicine. It can be used to see how certain drugs would affect certain people. More and more drugs will be produced through genetic engineering. It may be possible that a disease would be cured before it even strikes. This would be done by making changes in the environment that cure and prevent complex diseases. For example, polio vaccines have been introduced specifically in third world countries for children less than 5 years of age so that it can be eliminated on grass root level.

Therapeutic cloning is another factor that will be used for the cure of many diseases like diabetes; Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease have high chances of treatment with this type of cloning in the near future. It may also be possible to produce tissues and organs by using patient’s own skin cells.

It is also believed that athletes may be able to enhance their strength. Ageing may be cured by the end of 21st century. Genetic engineering also has made it possible to produce insulin and growth hormones. People suffering from diabetes lack required amount of insulin in their body. Soon diabetic patients will get insulin injections at a very low cost.

Scientists are now able to incorporate spider genes in goat’s milk to produce silk along with the milk. This flexible material is of great importance in making of military uniforms and medical microsutures and tennis rackets. It is a great achievement of scientists in the 21st century.

Genetic engineering is important in agriculture also. In the past, farmers used to use the method of traditional breeding which was very time consuming but it will be now possible to produce animals as well as plants with the traits required by the farmers and within less time they will be able to reproduce. Many crops have developed insect resistance and diseases resistance and scientists are still working on the some plants which will be able to grow at such places where it was not possible to grow before. There will be drought resistant plants in the near future. It will be helpful for fulfilling the need of food in third world countries.

Ancestral architectural is probably the superb system. It provides a great deal of chances for the fresh generation. The near future associated with progress associated with biotechnology system will be substantial.
