Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification. It is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This could be changing a single line of DNA taking out a whole system of DNA to get rid of a certain thing Or adding a new line of DNA to alter what you had to make you better. Genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait. They are used in research to change the outcome of cancer or even cure it which would be great for the world. It also can be used for brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more. Genetic engineering has changed over the years, from cloning for analysis and laboratory use to truly synthetic biology for understanding and new biomedical capabilities. Genetic Engineering was initially thought to be various techniques used for the modification of living things to give them a better chance of survival. Also it could be seen as changing the human race in a bad way. And making us different then we were made.
My opinion I think that we should use more genetic engineering so that we can find out more ways to cure diseases and make the human race better in every way. I think that we could make better people. I think that we could make the world a better place while using genetic engineering.
What is your Opinion?
Do you think that it is changing the human race in a bad way or good way?

Good topic choice Charlie! Your summary is brief and be sure to reply a few more times.
i think that this could change a lor of things, In everyones DNA this could be a big thing. This could also through a big in pack on the human race.
Do you think that it is changing the human race in a bad way or good way? i belive that it can impact certin pepole in a good way but on the other hand it could be used in a bad way we are still lerning things on it i am intrested were it will be in a coupel years
I dont think that we should use genetic enginerring, like it could be dangerous to be making people like you and using you. I think it is changing the human race in a good and bad way because it could help you do different things, but it stealing your genetics and making something else.
I think we do not need genetic engineering, I get it can help people but it could be used for things not very good for humans. I feel like already this world is advancing fast in technology and we are still learning new things so I feel like it is better off not using this. We shoulsn't be changing someones DNA we should just stay how we are everyone is different.
I don't think we should use genetic engineering. I feel like it has gone to far and everyone is there own person. People are different from one another in there own ways. I can see why it is good for people since it could be benifical, but I still don't think we should use it.
Do you think that it is changing the human race in a bad way or a good way? I believe that genetic mutation is chanign human race in both good ways and bad ways. The good ways are that it can remove the genes that are in cancer and other similar diseases. However there are bad things that can happen, such as someones life being ruined if something goes wrong,
I think we don't need genetic engineering. Overall many things could go wrong with it. Changing a person's genes to what they want is just wrong. There could be many complications along the way so you could be getting the result that you didn't like. But certain ways is could be beneficial, some being how it could improve pharmaceuticals. But even though it can I still think it would be a bad idea.
I don't agree with this statement because i think that we could get a lot farther ahead in life if we would use this. Also I can see wre you are coming from with this because thuis is the way that we are made but we could get rid of many diseases and other things.
I don't think we need Genetic engineering. I think it is a bad thing all around. There are many reasons why it could be so bad. One is that if a family were to modify their kid's genes and it happened to go wrong the family would sue and nothing good would happen. And assuming in the future most parents want their kids to be athletic and smart all the kids would be the same and that would be boring
