Genetic Engineering:Engineered Health Hazards

As a nation, we are constantly trying to increase the amount of goods we produce and the amount of time they are able to last. From adding preservatives to our food, to injecting cows with hormones to increase their size, to even larger gas tanks on our cars for better gas mileage. We can genetically alter fruits and vegetables, and with the use of hormones even cows. Genetic engineering is the process of removing one …

…to create new ideas and to cross new boundaries. Genetic engineering is a fine line we should not be bending. We still do not know for certain all the possible health effects and environment effects. More testing should be done to cover every possible risk that might arise before mass producing the fruits and vegetables. I personally would feel a little more secure knowing the food I eat is naturally grown and not genetically manipulated.
