Genetic Engineering

Genetic Engineering

Today, genetic engineering is one of the most advance and complex issues of society. The silly route is to go is to reject all forms of new technology, but technology must be carefully utilized. Technology like genetic engineering, can benefit mankind and ruin human when corrupted.

The Illuminati obviously intends to rule over the highest forms of futuristic technology for themselves without us to receive it for more control. I support genetic engineering that improves life without negative effects to the environment, humans, and animals. I won’t accept it in eugenics and I refuse to accept also the destruction of human embryos, etc. There is nothing wrong with using genetic engineering to treat or cure diseases.

That’s common sense and other positive uses of this technology can entail genetic therapy, genetic surgery or even som e forms of gene splicing. Many lives will be saved in such minor modifications of existing organism. On foods, to be safe, there must be labeling and a segregation of genetically engineered foods and food products so consumers can be wise to know the difference. I really don't believe in eating GM foods at all since they possess dangerous side effects. Many doctors and researchers have proven this point.

I also see nothing ill to use genetic engineering in reversing harmful mutations that are the result of the curse. We need to use discretion also in exposing foreign species to nations. One analogy is the rabbit sent to Australia, the rat to Hawaii, and the gypsy moth in the U.S. are all examples of negative effects of existing organisms sent to a new environment. Genetic engineering for the sake of the creation of new forms of life (in a large-scale format) ought to be rejected as immoral.

A newly formed being can cause massive problems for the environment and nature. This technology therefore should be operated to treat genetic di seases (i.e. recombinant DNA technology, etc.), but not to be used to radically re-designing creature. Patients for plants, animals, humans, and their genes are immoral since Life is a gift from Almighty God not an industrial commodity for man to tag.



The Human Genome Project

This project conspired of the U.S. Department of Energy and NIH Human Genome Program and it is the national coordinated effort to characterize all human genetic material by determining the complete sequence of DNA in the human genome. Recently almost all of the letters in the human genetic code (carried on the DNA) have been mapped. There are privacy concerns with this project, so no one's genetical material ought to be stolen from any human being at all.

Celera Genomonics (a non-government biotechnology company) is also involved in the venture. Their goal is to obviously discover and map all ca. 35,000 human genes for biological study. They also want to find all of the genetic makeup of other organism. The DNA molecule is one of the greatest scientific discoveries by 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick. It’s also comprised of approximately 3 billion chemical bases arranged in precise sequence.

It’s good to note that the Director of the Human Genome Project is Francis Collins, a Christian who respects the positive aspects of genetic research:

“We have caught the first glimpse of our instruction book, previously known only to God.”

I disagree with some member of this Project wanting eugenic plans or population control plans though. So, I want to make that clear. This is great in the addition to the knowledge of man, but we need to have boundaries so this technology will never be used for eugenics purposes. No matter what, we are not God neither should we put in a position to play God. The basic answer is to be extremely cautious and never de-humananize human beings in the process. We must always realize that God has complete authority of all wisdom, life, and truth.
