When you have completed this project on genetically altered foods, you will have a clearer understanding of modern biotechnology.  You will understand how DNA works and how scientists are able to manipulate genes to produce organisms that are genetically different than the original organism.  You will have an opportunity to explore many different plant and animal food sources that have been modified and placed on the supermarket shelves. You will also have the opportunity to form ideas and opinions on the current ethical and medical implications that are surrounding the genetic engineering of plants and animals.

    After hearing all of the "genetic engineering teams" present their ideas, which do you believe is the most realistic possibility?  On the other hand, which one would be the most profitable, regardless of the practicality of the genetic alteration involved?  We are talking about genetic alteration, right?  So which one would cause the most controversy if it was introduced?

    In the future, gentic engineering will be even more common than it is now.  How do you think laws will have to change to deal with this new biotechnology?  Also, how will modification affect the traditional classification of species?  Lastly, now that you have a clearer understanding of the pros and cons regarding  Genetically Engineered Food, how do you personally feel knowing
about your food, and realize that many items already on the supermarket shelves are genetically altered?
