__**Genetic Engineering**__ Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of the genetic code of an organism. Typically a gene of interest is isolated and inserted into the DNA of another organism to create an improved organism. Examples would be Flavr-Savr tomatoes which have a longer shelf-life, insulin produced from bacteria rather than being harvested from hogs, breeding leaner livestock, growing antibiotics in plants, etc.


 * What are your thoughts about genetic engineering? Do you think it is an area of biotechnology that should be researched further? Where do we draw the line?**
