Abstract

Genetic engineering represents a transformative leap in biotechnology, with profound implications for medicine, agriculture, and beyond. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of genetic engineering through the lenses of genetics, ethics, and sociology. It reviews current applications, discusses ethical dilemmas, and explores social impacts, aiming to offer a holistic understanding of how genetic modifications affect society. The discussion integrates scientific advancements with ethical considerations and societal impacts, providing recommendations for future research and policy development.

Keywords: Genetic Engineering, Genetics, Ethics, Sociology, Biotechnology, Genetic Modifications, Societal Impact
