Genetically modifying animals is becoming popular. Consumers are not for this idea, but should prove that animals are not harmed in these experiments. Genetically engineered crops and microorganisms are used to change the way we eat. Producers inserting genes in an animal is safe and do not harm the animal in any way which is also safe to eat. Genetically modified animals may gain healthier foods and access to scarce medications, and for agricultural producers, who may cut costs with disease resistant or faster growing animals. The only genetically engineered animal is a glow in the dark fish. Animals becoming engineered will help produce human insulin, disease fighting antibodies, scarce clotting factors, and cancer inhibitors that can be useful for medicines. I do agree with this article. I think it will change the way medicine is used today. It will help genetically engineer the way animals are cloned. Many agree that it will be possible in the future to help produce human ways of living such as living with cancer. Issues with humans can be used by animals before they are tested on humans. In many ways, I agree on genetically engineering animals.
