Student’s Name Professor Course Title Date of Submission Ethics of Using Genetically Engineered and Cloned Food Introduction Genetic engineering is a science of modifying or altering and organism genetic makeup. This is done with tools and techniques from biotechnology and bioengineering. This process involves removal of DNA matters from one species of the animal and inserts it to another animal of same species or different species. A transgenic organism is able to express these genes because the protein gene sequences are similar among them. When a gene is obtained it is altered so that it can be expressed and it functions effectively in the host organisms. In genetic modification various laboratory and industrial techniques are applied in combining the DNA of different species and genes together. This is aimed at altering the genetic constitution of an organism. The living organism made out of altered DNA is referred to as Botzler eds. The animal ethics reader. Taylor & Francis 2016. Bawa A.
