Imagine how it would feel to walk into the hospital with a weak heart and be able to get a transplant of your organ. Humans are born with only one copy of organs for each function required by the body. Despite the ability to recover some cells, not everything within the body is able to regenerate. With the now endless possibilities offered by our advancing technology, genetic engineering has entered the lives of human beings in ways that were never expected before. Genetic engineering is a modern topic that should be implemented at a greater pace because it helps us combat problems that go beyond basic medicine, prolongs life and increases its quality by adding techniques to treatment rather than additional drugs. Problems in our world are sometimes more complicated than diagnosis and treatment, some are interactions between ourselves and the world around us. Global warming is one example: as its increase begins to change the climate, humans must adapt to prevent our health from deteriorating. Today, however, our bodies rely on our own modifications to keep up with rapid change; genetic engineering of ourselves and the world has allowed humans to overcome the challenges that nature throws at us. Humans today must quickly adapt to the new demands and availability of our world. If humans were able to make changes so that our bodies could reject most meats, we would be less dependent on large industries that contribute much of greenhouse gas emissions, plus we could avoid the contaminants that make us sick. Cattle farming causes 51% of the world's greenhouse gases and causes deforestation to provide space for animals. By taking pills or changing the entire DNA sequence from birth, we could create... middle of paper... asi. Gene therapy is a promising technology that uses genes from other organisms to manipulate diseases into ineffectiveness. Stem cells are the main focus of genetic engineering and the demand for them has grown dramatically, we can essentially solve all medical problems by manipulating what DNA codes for. Biotechnology has helped our immune systems fight disease, introduced interleukins, drugs that can help alter diseases – AIDS or malaria – and changed what we know about “life”. Genetic engineering is a complex field that really only benefits science and medicine, few, if any, negative impacts occur as a result of such technology. The future of genetic engineering is simply a more efficient and more widely implemented version of what is possible today. This technology could change what happened naturally, but it does so with positive intentions.
