History has shown that the imagined possibilities of genetic engineering are becoming reality. Anesthesia was first used in surgery in the 1840s, it is said. At the time, its use was limited. It was allowed only for things such as tooth extraction or removing an abscess, and was prohibited for childbirth by pregnant women as it is done today. The reason was largely religious doctrine. Today, however, it is hard to imagine surgery without anesthesia. And that is not all. Genetic modification

The dictionary meaning of general education is “refinement built on learning, knowledge, and social life, or broad knowledge of culture.” We often say, and hear, that we should cultivate general knowledge. Even if it does not seem important right now, the more people cultivate it, the better society will become. To build that knowledge, it is good to take an interest in many fields and read books. Everyone has probably heard of genetic engineering at least once. It is used as a subject in films

This book traces the development of genetic engineering technologies and the points of debate, from Mendel's laws to the present day. I had kept my distance from biology since the regular high school curriculum, so the explanations were difficult, but if you follow them step by step, you can understand a little about how far modern genetic engineering has advanced and what may happen. In fact, all I knew about genetic engineering was Mendel's laws from middle school, so I could not understand

I have many reasons for being interested in biotechnology, and that is not the only one. In fact, I am very much a humanities person. I like science and math, but when I approach them through history, I understand quickly and find them interesting. Still, I never went very deep because I thought they would be extremely difficult. I wanted to know about them so much that I read several accessible biotechnology books written for adults and humanities readers, but found them a little hard to
