AND SOCIETY
PRESENTED BY:

society, particularly in the context of health and economy:
And
2.Discuss the moral and bioethical question concerning
genetic engineering.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
are organisms whose genetic material
has been altered using genetic
engineering techniques. This process
involves modifying the DNA of an
organism, typically by adding,
removing, or changing specific genes,
to achieve desired traits such as
disease resistance, improved yield, or
enhanced nutritional content.
Increased Crop Yield- GMOs are engineered to
produce higher yields, making farming more
efficient and potentially addressing food
shortages.
