Genetic Engineering:

Genetic engineering involves modifying the genetic material of organisms to introduce new traits or
characteristics. Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 allow precise editing of DNA sequences, offering
unprecedented opportunities for agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. In agriculture, genetically
modified crops can be engineered for increased yield, pest resistance, or nutritional content. In medicine,
gene therapy holds promise for treating genetic disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases. Ethical
considerations surrounding genetic engineering include concerns about safety, equity, and unintended
consequences, necessitating careful regulation and public dialogue.
