Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(8pp) Have you ever wondered how we as humans have
managed to make any progress at all? With any
major development there are nay-sayers, or those
who know that latest invention will not only
derail the future of the world, but also the
children of that future. Fear is a major propaganda
tool. And we must remember to get the information
before we make a decision on any debatable
technological advancement: genetic engineering
within the area of biotechnology is definitely one
of those fields, and provides the basis for this
discussion. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

on any debatable technological advancement: genetic engineering within the area of biotechnology is definitely one of those fields, and provides the basis for this discussion. Definitions
The Midwest (of the United States) Sustainable Agriculture Working Group simply says that, " Biotechnology is comprised of a set of techniques that involve
the manipulation of living organisms for human use." Genetic engineering, a subgroup within biotechnology, is the actual process of manipulation: "Genetic engineering, also referred to as recombinant DNA
and gene splicing, is one of the more common and controversial types of biotechnology being introduced into agriculture. Genetic engineering is a set of new technologies that artificially transfers
genes in order to move particular traits from one organism to another. These techniques create organisms with new combinations of traits not possible in nature" (http://www.cfra.org/msawg-ge.htm). Genetic engineering
can occur across the wide spectrum of human endeavor. The areas most under discussion include agriculture, health and medicine. About the latter, Nobel Laureate, David Baltimore of Rockefeller
University, says, "Every disease we know about is either being attacked with genetics or is being illuminated through genetics " (Maugh A-1). Fears One of the agricultural fears concerning genetic
engineering is that natural bio-diversity that keeps a plant strong, will be at peril through this biotechnological manipulation. In First the Seed, Jack Kloppenburg warns, "Though the capacity to
move genetic material between species is a means for introducing additional variation, it is also a means for engineering genetic uniformity across species." Kloppenburgs argument is that too much
