2. Five terrible illnesses that genetic engineering could eliminate forever.
3. Genetically modified (GM) crops are influencing genetic diversity.
4. Introduction of several genes into plants by genetic engineering has resulted in increased tolerance to drought, salinity and cold stress.
5. Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with genetically modified food.
6. A strain of bacteria, produced by genetic engineering can remove toxic pesticides such as parathion.
