    A list with genetic manipulations follows, could you please fill in, if you are positive negative or neutral about the genetic manipulation.(this is for a school project)

    ----------------plants----------

    0 combining genes to increase the speed at which new races are created
    1 increasing farm yield by means of genetic recombination
    2 making plants resistant to disease by means of genetic recombination
    3 making plants resistant to insects by means of genetic recombination
    4 recombining plant DNA to make them suitable for other environments
    5 genetically manipulating plants as to make the fruits more durable
    6 change the taste of a fruit by the means of genetic manipulation
    7 genetically manipulating plants to make the looks better

    ---------------animals----------

    0 increasing the milk production for a.k.a. cows
    1 increasing the length of time during which cows give milk
    2 restoring extinct species by cloning a Genome sample
    3 cloning animals as to increase production
    4 cloning animals as to “reincarnate” them
    5 genetically manipulating animals as to make them suitable for other environments
    6 using mouse cells to create pregnancy tests
    7 manipulating animals as to make them more suitable as pets
    8 creating animals which can act as donors for humans




    --------------Humans-------------------


    0 artificial insemination of women
    1 cloning humans
    2 give the chance to future parents to select their future childrens DNA
    3 Recombining Human and animal/plant DNA, as to increase the efficiency of the human body
    4 using clone technology to create brainless bodies which can be used to serve as a source for organs
    5 manipulating genes to remove genetic diseases
    6 cloning for stem cell research
    7 stem cell research in general

    Why damage? Why do people automatically think that genetic engineering is a damage to the nature?

    Yeah, but it all has to do with moral... but in fact the things we do are absolutely natural.

    + for all except humans 1.

    Also for humans 4 I think you mean unconscious, not brainless.

    no i mean brainless, so there is no conscious in there, not even the slightest chance of it
    you "just" have to place a small system to support the body
