Gene SplicingGenetic research has produced both exciting and frightening possibilities. Scientists are now able to create new forms of life in the laboratory due to the development of gene splicing. On the one hand, the ability to create life in the laboratory could greatly mankind. For example, because it is very expensive to obtain insulin from natural sources, scientists are developed a method to manufacture it in inexpensively in the laboratory. Another beneficial application of gene splicing is in agriculture.
Scientists foresee the day when new plants will be developed using nitrogen from the air instead of from fertilizer. Therefore food production could be increased. In addition, entirely new plants could be developed to feed the world's hungry people. Not everyone is excited about gene splicing. However some people feel that it could have terrible consequences. A laboratory accident, for example might cause an epidemic of an unknown disease that could wife out humanity.As a result of this controversy, the government has made rules to control genetic experiments. While some members of scientists community feel that these rules are too strict, many other people feel that they are still not strict enough.
