text: should i or should i not go into the area of genetic engineering? i really want to and this is a fairly new and unexplored area, but i'm not sure. i'm really interested in it but there are a lot of risks..  positives: advances in science nd medicine advances in evolution save lives cure diseases extend lives nd other stuff that i dont remember right now  negatives: really risky people and/or animals could die during the experimental process  <-- biggest but probably the only risk when u feel strongly abt it jess, go for it!you know there are risks involved in everything but u know what, once u do something u r passionate abt, u get interested and confidant abt ur work, then chances of ppl/animals dying are minimal.  take it this way, when ppl larn to drive, dont they know that one error on their part can kill lives>>>>but they still learn it and drive cautiously.genetic engineering on this level is no different.once u r careful, there is hardly any chance of failure.plus concentrate on the positives and things would be much better for the entire species on this planet.  i wish u all the very best!!
