This is another way that genetic engineering effects people in our society. The Food and Drug Law Institute Journal . T his journal's topic was about how modern day plant breeders are using genetic engineering to improve their crops. Manipulating genes can control almost any trait of a plant or food. This ability to control nature wasn't near as accurate with crossbreeding and hybridization.
Scientists can create better genes with certain traits that are already understood.
Resisting pests and chemical herbicides, having better food processing traits, possessing better nutritional content, being able to resist poor soil and weather, and having better flavor or texture are all variables that can be controlled. By genetically engineering their plants, breeders can eliminate the undesirable traits from their product and dramatically improve it. Genetic Engineering and Its Dangers. Posting date unknown. T his was another web site that was against genetic engineering in general.
