Kayleighs+Homework

=Kayleighs homework Over the past few weeks Ive been introduced to genetic engineering, this has been by the Internet, talking to my mum and also watching t.v, on Sunday I watched a programme called Sunday on 29/3/09 and they talked about breeding purebred dogs and how the genes have altered over the past few hundred years. I have also heard my mother and family say things like"we couldn't eat that in winter" and when I asked her she said "back in her days they couldn't eat corn, plums, lettuce and nectarines ",as they were only grown in summer!!!! I did not know what this was until now. Now that I have explored Genetic Engineering I personally do not like it I think it is not natural and is unhealthy and I think this because as an example, if your tomatoes die from frost , then they are not meant to be grown at that time of year,but scientists are trying to make them grow all year round, so they can handle the frost and have the crops to have the money, this again is is not natural. Tomatoes in my mothers garden only grew in summer now that's natural!!!! The TV programme I was watching showed that dogs had to be put down and people had to loose their life long friends because of people altering their genes and looks, this was sad because they didn't deserve to be brought into the world like this. This is another example to prove that it is wrong, if farmers like their fields to be tidy then they do not need to spray, they do this to protect their crops to get more money if they do not, then they think their harvest will not be good, not realizing the harm that's in the spray they use. why cant they just pull them out ? All weeds eventually die through the spray and the animals that usually rely on this food source will also die because it may be poison ,when you look at this whole food chain can be destroyed and the web of life is ruined. I think life has a cycle ,whether it is human ,animals or insects, we all have to eat what we are brought up to believe in are taught to eat whats right by our makeup, it is what nature intended and we should not alter this KAYLEIGH=
