Scientists are now able to create new forms of life in the laboratory because of the development of gene splicing - the joining of genes. On the one hands, the ability to create life in the laboratory could greatly benefit humankind. One beneficial application of gene splicing is in agriculture. For example, researchers have engineered a more nutritious type of rice that could help alleviate the serious problem of vitamin A deficiency. It is estimated that 124 million children worldwide lack vitamin A, putting them at risk of permanent blindness and other health issues. However, not everyone positive about gene-splicing technology. Some people feel that it could have terrible consequences. In fact, a type of corn engineered to kill a certain insect pest also threatened to wipe out desirable monarch butterflies. In another accident, a genetically engineered type of corn that was toxic to human accidentally cross-pollinated with corn grown for humans. As a result, many countries banned imports of genetically modified corn for several years.
