Pros of Genetic Engineering

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/benefits-of-genetic-engineering.html

Shandilya, Anju. "Benefits of Genetic Engineering." Buzzle. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Oct. 2011.

In this article, Shandilya describes all the benefits associated with Genetic Engineering. She lists many good, solid arguments, including gene therapy, a way in which to treat people for genetic diseases and defects, such as autoimmune and heart diseases. Also, genetic engineering has been able to produce stronger, more effective pharmaceutical products. Pregnant women can have a sort of genetic screening, so that they and their doctors may know ahead of time any genetic problems their child will have, providing time for preparation. In addition, through modification, the genetic strength of plants can be increased.

This article's intent was to inform people of why genetic engineering is beneficial. Shandilya was very biased toward genetic engineering.
