Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic code by artificial means, and is therefore different from traditional selective breeding. Genetic engineering examples include taking the gene that programs poison in the tail of a scorpion, and combining it with a cabbage. These genetically modified cabbages kill caterpillars because they have learned to grow scorpion poison (insecticide) in their sap. Genetic engineering has given us the power to alter the very basis of life on earth. sssssGenetic engineering has been said to be no different than ancient breeding methods. In contrast genetic engineering allows us to combine fish, mouse, human and insect genes in the same person or animal. Genetic engineering therefore has few limits - except our imagination, and our moral or ethical code. Human cloning is a type of genetic engineering, but is not the same as true genetic manipulation. In human cloning, the aim is to duplicate the genes of an existing person so that an identical set is inside a human egg. The result is intended to be a cloned twin, perhaps of a dead child.
