With the aid of genetic engineering scientists can insert genes from one species into another which might not be possible naturally. One of the best examples of this is human genes in rice and fish genes in tomatoes. The biggest problem encountered is that insertion of genes might interfere with the genes of the animals or plants and hence cause the food to become toxic. This may further lead to interbreeding with natural organisms and hence contaminate various non genetic engineering environment and future generations might suffer as a result of this.
Some experts are of the opinion that genetic engineering might lead to unpredictable impact on health of human beings, animals and even plants. It is also quite difficult to recall these organisms if they are released in the environment. Genetic pollution is hard to control and Greenpeace and other organizations have been campaigning against such practices for almost a decade. Let us stop experimenting if we would like to save our world from any irreparable damage.
