In humans, genetic engineering raises concern about \u201cdesigner babies\u201d, where parents get to choose the traits within their child, which will lead to social inequality and discrimination. In addition to this, there are concerns about unforeseen genetic mutations that could negatively impact future generations. In agriculture, genetic engineering can lead to the creation of genetically modified organisms that are resistant to pests and additional diseases. While this will help increase food production, and reduce the usage of pesticides, there are ethical concerns about the long-term environmental impact and the potential for cross-contamination with non-GMO crops. Overall, the ethical implications of genetic engineering necessitate careful consideration and regulation to balance benefits with potential risks and moral concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/toefl-academic-discussion-your-professor-is-teaching-psychology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Prev (26th July)<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.leverageedu.toefl\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Download Leverage IELTS - Play Store\"  class=\"wp-image-763580 pk-lazyload\"  style=\"aspect-ratio:3.38;width:197px;height:auto\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/2023\/01\/24174757\/Google_Play_Store_badge_EN.svg_.png\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/leverage-toefl\/id6451136250\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Download Leverage IELTS - App Store\"  class=\"wp-image-763581 pk-lazyload\"  style=\"aspect-ratio:3.4;width:198px;height:auto\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/2023\/01\/24174856\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge.svg-1-1024x304.png\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/category\/ielts\/ielts-daily\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Check out: IELTS Daily<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help to prepare for TOEFL?
