Support from plant and animal breeding studies: Artificial Selection: reproduction of certain types chosen by humans

The main difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering is that selective breeding does not cause any alteration in the genetic material of the organism whereas genetic engineering brings changes to the genetic material of the organism.

A look at what selective breeding has done to the health of dogs and a brief history of selective breeding of dogs.

Genetic Engineering is the final frontier of science that can raise human capacity to unprecedented heights. However, it is also an area where several risks lurk in the background, each one as important as the other. These risks of unknown, unimagined, unintended consequences can put our ecosystems at grave risk. Thus, wiser counsel would be to tread carefully and take a conservative approach.

Dogs have been around humans for over 30,000 years now and have earned themselves the title of humans' best friends. But ever since they were domesticated, the species has gone through dramatic changes due to selective breeding. Whether the changes were physical or mental, people have bred dogs for their own advantage, sometimes causing the animals some severe health problems.
