Genetic Engineering My policy on genetic engineering is that to a certain extent genetic engineering is essential to our world today.

God creates things for a reason and for His reason to only know why. Through genetic engineering, transgenic organisms are created to improve upon nature, to act as bioreactors that make useful products, or to act as models for understanding basic biology. Baby embryos and their genes are at stake and also their future because if we alter their genes, we may not know what’s in store for them later in life. They may not appear as foreign to this earth, but they do contain at least one altered gene. One may argue that humans have no right to intervene with evolution because of the way it allows the setting aside of species barriers. Thomas Shannon says,
