There is documented evidence into the unpredictability of genetic engineering. Yet there is mounting pressure for new gene technologies to be used with
\n no regulatory supervision.<\/p>\n
Gene editing is the genetic alteration of the natural world.<\/p>\n
They are a stage after genetic engineering.<\/p>\n
Whatever the size of a change made inside a cell, and some scientists like to say they are very small changes, how can messing with DNA be a safe thing
\n to do, when we increasingly realise the connection between living things.<\/p>\n
Organisms are self organising complex systems and so how can it be possibly safe to manipulate and mess with our food and animals?<\/p>\n

\n are concerns about the ecological safety of the eradication, replacement or enhancement of particular species of animals by means of genetic engineering.
\n Communities and groups have differing beliefs about nature and its conservation or preservation. For those reasons, the rigorous testing and regulation
\n of insects and other animals with gene drive systems is crucial.<\/p>\n
