      I do believe that it happens- ha-ha! 😉 Seriously, I think it’s useful in some cases, but you always have to weigh the risks.

      Believe in it? It happens – all the time, and man has exploited this for thousands of years in agriculture (e.g. selective breeding). We should take care with what we do in future, but in many cases it’s a proven technology that has benefits!

      Do I believe in it? – yes it is happening. Do I agree with it? – yes to an extent. I don’t agree with making new species of animals or mixing up genes for the sake of it. I agree with curing diseases and ridding famine. Selective breeding and cross pollination of plants is a form of genetic engineering as well and has resulted in much of the food we eat today……..
