**__ Is Genetic Engineering Good Or Bad?? __**

I don't think Genetic Engineering is to wonderful but it can do some good things. I think genetic engineering is more of a bad thing because it changes the way things naturally are and tampers with the way nature is. A few of the bad things genetic engineering can do is something like making a chicken with no wings but 4 legs, it has created a goat with spider genes that creates ‘silk’ in its milk, but some good things genetic engineering has done is made a sheep with human genes and by that its milk can help save some cases of lung cancer.

Human genes work in bacteria, monkey genes work in mice and earthworms. Tree genes work in bananas, and frog genes work in rice. Genetic engineering can be completely crazy!

But genetic engineering has let us alter with almost everything that is on our planet earth, but I don’t think that’s a good thing because it can cause hazards like a cabbage with the poison of a scorpion in it, what if somebody thought “Hmm this is a nice looking cabbage I think I’ll cook this up for dinner tonight”. What would happen then and to this person’s whole family? I’d be pretty sad if one of my family friends died because of a cabbage.

The reason I think that genetic engineering should not be, is because people/animals should live a life of there own and I would want my life not to be tampered with by genetic engineering. I don’t think I would like to have have some sort of animal genes in by body. I think the average of something going wrong/bad with genetic engineering is around 7/10. This is because I don’t think anybody really knows what the end result will turn out like. In most websites I’ve been to about Genetic Engineering they have given you a simple message: STOP GENETIC ENGINEERING. I hope that you believe me when I say: “I don’t think Genetic Engineering is going to make the world any better”.
