Редактирование: Genetic engineering

'''Genetic engineering''', also called '''genetic modification''' or very commonly '''GMO''', is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.

[[Genetic testing]] may be used by couples seeking to have children to avoid preventable hereditary health conditiona. The progression of this concept may be known as [[super babies]], or less charitably, [[eugenics]].
