Scientists learned how to build and use special vectors to insert genes of their choice into an organism's DNA code ("What is Genetic Engineering?"). Numerous techniques (such as selective breeding) have been used for years to change gene codes, but through genetic engineering, scientists can move genes much easier than before and with greater precision ("What are the Dangers?")...

Advantage of Genetic Engineering A genetic disorder is a situation where some genes are missing or faulty. The idea of gene therapy is that a non-pathogenic virus or other delivery system can be used to insert a piece of DNA (a good copy of the gene) into cells of the living individual...	2 / 451
