Seeds of Destruction: Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation

Seeds of destruction are the hidden agenda of genetic manipulation. In this process, people use science and technology to change or alter the DNA or genetic information of plants, animals, or even humans. For example, people might change a plant's genes to make it grow faster and produce more food, or they might change the genes of animals to make them bigger and stronger. Unfortunately, some people have bad intentions when they make these changes, and they could create plants and animals with dangerous effects on the environment. For example, they might make a certain type of plant poisonous to other plants or animals, or they might make animals that carry diseases and parasites. These changes could cause a lot of damage to the environment and people's health.
