Medical sciences have now reached a level where there is hope for finding solutions to all problems. With even the minutest of substances in the human body known to man, the possibility of engineering them in order to stimulate them according to the needs and desires has become a reality. This has been termed as genetic engineering and is one of the most sorted technologies for all medical experts. Complementary techniques include gene splicing, genetic modification and recombinant DNA technology.

Going back in the history, this technology got prominence in the 1970s when a strand of DNA was inserted into a dissected bacterium. This led to extensive researches and increased confidence that manipulating the cells was possible. As the time passed, genetics started involving different animals and was successfully able to answer many questions on metabolism. In the late 20th century, many treatments included significant contributions from the genetic experts with some serious and terminal diseases being controlled if not cured. For some, this does not come as a surprise as according to them it was only a matter of time before the findings of the early scientists like Darwin were realized practically.

Aim: Genetic Engineering has only one aim, to have total control over the life process. If this is achieved, people would be able to get their desired traits in them. It would include getting children born disease free and slowing the old age concept. No one would fall ill or die from natural causes. This is not confined only to humans. If the tests are successful, they would be applicable on plants and animals too wherein they can be breaded to give optimum output proving to be road to discovery of new organisms. Some even think on the possibility of re growing the extinct species.

Implementation Procedure: Before anything is done or any objective achieved, there are some requirements that need to be met. This includes the target cells and the genes which need to be placed. The complete procedure can be divided into three basic steps:

1) Step 1: Isolating or removing the wanted genes from the DNA helix. This gene is manipulated according to the needs in the labs.

2) Step 2: Preparing a medium which would be placed inside the body (the isolated gene is inserted here).

3) Step 3: Inserting the prepared medium into the body of the organism.

Once these steps are completed, the transformation takes place because of the normal metabolic activity. Gradually, the organism starts becoming different from the rest of the species.

A series of complicacies can arise while undergoing these steps. Proper care and attention is required while carrying out such activities. The environment needs to be sanitized with all precautionary measures in place. When the total process is complete, the subject is monitored for some time to keep track of all activities taking place inside it. If the tests are successful, it is made available for public use; else, the subject is killed sighting security reasons and new experiments done
