If existing technology can not, will it ever be possible?
Yes, genetic engineering can alter an existing phenotype by changing the genetic makeup of an organism. This can result in changes to physical characteristics, such as appearance, behavior, and even disease susceptibility.
Genetic engineering can result in permanent changes to an organism's phenotype, as it alters the genetic code of an organism. However, these changes can also be reversed through further genetic modifications.
Yes, genetic engineering has the potential to cure diseases by altering an organism's genetic makeup. This can include correcting genetic mutations that cause disease or introducing new genes to combat diseases.
There are ethical concerns surrounding genetic engineering, particularly in regards to its potential impact on the environment and society. There are also concerns about the potential misuse or unintended consequences of genetic engineering.
Yes, genetic engineering has been used on humans in certain cases, such as gene therapy for genetic disorders. However, there are ongoing debates and ethical considerations surrounding the use of genetic engineering on humans for other purposes.
