Description: Guide to genetic engineering. What is it? Should you be worried? Is it okay? Is it for need or for greed?
Genetic engineering: a guide for kids by Tiki the Penguin Engineering Genetic engineering (GE for short) is about scientists altering the 'recipes' for making life — the genes which you find in all living things. Doing this is very clever and seems to be very useful. Back in the 1990s, many 'Greens' campaigned against genetic engineering and still do. They predicted disaster but that hasn't happened. Nobody has died from eating genetically modified (GM) food. They were also worried about the private GE companies' ownership of the recipes — genes — for making these new life forms. So is genetic engineering okay? My guide explains the basics but it's up to you to make up your own mind about GE.
