Genetic Engineering One chemical holds the secret of life. It contains the instructions for manufacturing everything from bacteria to a human being with trillions of specialized or genetically altered cells. The chemical is called deoxyribonucleic acid, or what is better known as DNA. It is about to change our world or has already begun to do so. But is the change that comes with it worth the effects it could have on society' I don’t think that genetically altering DNA or genetically engineering something is a good idea. One reason is because it could pose a serious threat to the existence of life on earth. Once we started to genetically alter living systems, where would we draw the line' We could just manufacture people’s bodies and design them exactly how we want them to look and act. In time, it will become much harder to argue against adding genes that contribute to desired qualities, like better health, looks or brains. If we eliminate all of our imperfections and defects, we would basically be forced to accept the idea of reducing the human species to a technologically designed product.
