EpiPen is an injection containing epinephrine, a chemical that narrows blood vessels and opens airways in the lungs. These effects can reverse severe low blood pressure, wheezing, severe skin itching, hives, and other symptoms of an allergic reaction. EpiPen is used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to insect stings or bites, foods, drugs, and other allergens. Epinephrine is also used to treat exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Epinephrine auto-injectors such as EpiPen and EpiPen Jr. may be kept on hand for self-injection by a person with a history of an severe allergic reaction. EpiPen is for use in adults and children who weigh at least 16.5 pounds (7.5 kilograms).
Since genetic engineering is still be developed and is very new, it remains unknown whether or now the effects will be harmful or beneficial in the long run. Because of this it is hard to determine whether genetic engineering is good or bad.enetic engineering is a technique, performed by scientists in a laboratory, to change a living organisms' DNA. Genetic engineering is defined as an alteration of the traits of the cell of an organism through the direct manipulation of genes.
Genetic engineering in humans may be able to save millions of lives by finally treating hereditary diseases such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. However genetic engineering will be abused by many perfectionists who want to design their babies right down to the colour of their eyes.
