3 days ago · A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, with the most common being an organism altered in a way that "does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination".
3 days ago · (As noted above, “GMO,” or genetically modified organism, is yet another meaningless pseudo-category of genetic engineering, which uses recombinant DNA technology. Despite its greater precision and predictability than conventional breeding technologies, it has been far more stringently regulated and, in some countries, even banned.)

3 days ago · e. Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
21 hours ago · Advances in genetic engineering have sparked debates about germ-line genetic manipulation, raising hopes for eradicating hereditary diseases and creating "designer babies," yet also fueling concerns about ethics, inequality, and safety. The technology offers potential health benefits but requires careful consideration of its complex ethical and societal implications before proceeding.
