Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.
The Campaign Against Human Genetic Engineering, has been set up in response to this threat. Currently, genetic engineering is only applied to non-reproductive cells (this is known as 'gene therapy') in order to treat diseases in a single patient, rather than in all their descendants. Gene therapy is still very unsuccessful, and we are often told that the prospect of reproductive genetic engineering is remote.
