There are, in fact, both positive and negative impacts to consider when evaluating these considerations. Genetically modified food has the potential to feed the world. It also has
the potential, however, to compromise our health. Perhaps even more importantly, however, is the potential of this technology to forever change the worlds gene bank.
Genetic engineering is the process of modifying and copying and transferring genes from one organism to another. Many view genetic engineering in a wholly positive light,
claiming that it can be utilized to in applications as diverse as feeding the worlds masses, curing disease, and even producing superior human beings. Advocates of the technology contend
that genetically modified food is one answer to our worlds growing problems. The worlds population is growing at a phenomenal rate. At the same time the lands which
are available for agricultural production are shrinking. This leaves us with far too many people to feed and less and less area to do it with. Our traditional,
unaltered, agricultural species simply are not capable of producing the volume of food which is needed on the agricultural lands which remain. Genetically altered food stuffs offer an avenue of
meeting our food needs on the limited areas which we have available. Genetic engineering of our food species is a process
through which one or more of the genes of one species is removed and introduced into another species. In tissue culture one of the parents of a cross is
only distantly related to the other parent. Complete plants are grown from individual cells and all of the offspring are genetically identical.
