The future of today: genetic modification By: Kevin Murray Throughout the history of the homosapien, this has always tried to surpass itself and as they have been progressing, and at the same time have been evolving. All people in the world are different both physically and psychologically, this is due to something called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), in very general terms DNA is the protein that constitutes the genetic code of people; this helps us to adapt to the different environments and events that occur around the whole planet earth. But what would happen if we modified the genetic code of people and we could "improve" them? This is where the matter of genetics comes in, it is dedicated to research and modification of DNA, but many moral norms and dilemmas also come into play, since the nature of human beings is being altered, and the essence of the individual. The term genetic modification refers to the manipulation of the genetic code of living organisms, for the purpose of improving the bree d and species of such living being.  23
