There are many ethical issues associated with genetic engineering. Some people are for it and some against.
One of the religious issues with genetic engineering is that is deemed to be interfering with Gods creations. Many believe we should not alter ourselves. Many people are also sensitive to genetic engineering when used in ediable products as we do not understand the long term effects of genetic engineering and do not understand the actual process.
A major problem with genetic enginering is the fear of having 'designer children'. This means to genetically change the unborn to make them taller, stronger more intellectual or with any other desirable traits.
Some feel this is right and they believe genetic engineering would give their children the best chance in life and help enrich their lives. The interference can help parents children to have a healthier life and maybe a happier life?
However as mentioned above we do not know alot about genetic enginering and we could cause more harm than good.
Also another positive use of genetic enginering is that we can tailor crops to grow in harsh conditions or increase the yeild of certain animal products or crops ,which can help those in poorer countries .
