The Genetic Engineering Debate

Genetic engineering... one of the most debated feats of science. Possibly one of the most useful discoveries... and possibly one of the most dangerous.
But what IS genetic engineering? Scientifically, genetic engineering is the modification of a living being's development.
By taking genes from one living being and adding it to another, the being the genes are added to inherit the traits from the donor being.
