Genetic engineering applications in biotechnology

Genetic engineering has many applications for the service of mankind.
1) In 1982 USA’s FDA is approved first genetically engineered drug was human Insulin.
2) Early application of GE was to create human growth hormone as replacement for a drug that was previously extracted from human cadavers.
3) Through genetically engineered it was enable human to develop human growth hormone to replace the use of drugs which was earlier got from human cadavers.
4) In 1986 the FDA approved the first genetically engineered vaccine for humans, for hepatitis B. Since these early uses of the technology in medicine, the use of GE has expanded to supply many drugs and vaccines.
5) First genetically engineered vaccine for hepatitis B for the service of mankind and it was approved in 1986 USA’s FDA. This is only possible to early use of technology in medicine and genetic engineering has open the unlimited ways to supply many drugs and vaccines for the mankind.
6) Now genetic engineering is evolving its applications towards the genetically modified organisms. At a very low cost through Genetic engineering oral vaccines can be produced in the fruits.
These bio-technology applications of genetic modification have enough potential if we use it in the limited boundary of ethics and we should not alter the way of nature because it creates distortion and we cannot manage the whole circle.
