Positives of genetic engineering 积极面 Genetic engineering is the practice of manipulating the genes of an organism It is used to produce crops that are more resistant to insects and diseases Some genetically modified crops grow more quickly Some drugs and vaccines are produced by genetic engineering It may become possible to change human’s genetic characteristics. Scientists may use genetic engineering to cure diseases. Inherited illnesses would no longer exist Genes could be changed before a baby is born It could also be possible to clone human organs We could all have replacement body part Humans could live longer, healthier lives Negatives of genetic engineering 消极面 There are ethical concerns about human genetic engineering Parents might want to choose their children’s characteristics This would be unnatural It would be unacceptable in most religions Soldiers could be cloned from the genes of the strongest people Clones might be used like robots to do certain jobs Clones might even be developed just for organ replacements Society and human evolution would change completely Currently, human genetic engineering is prohibited 1 / 2 让学习变简单 Genetically-Modified (GM) foods: Advantages 转基因食物：优势 Farmers can produce crops that grow bigger and faster Some GM crops are more resistant to disease or insects This could be important for food production in developing countries Faster growing cereals, fruit and vegetables will mean more profit GM foods can be modified to look perfect They may be more attractive to customers Genetically-Modified (GM) Foods: Disadvantages 劣势 There may be risks involved in the genetic engineering of foods. GM crops might change whole ecosystems
