The use of recombinant gene technology can only benefit society Recombinant genetic technology are widely used today, there is definitely no doubt that it benefit our lives in many aspect such as health and food. But does it benefit us more than it harms us, or vice versa? "Genetic Technology is a form of Biotechnology, in its broadest definition, is any technique that uses living things to make product to improve plants or animal, or to develop microbes for specific uses, such as baking bread, brewing beer or making cheese."
