Genetic Modification, also known as Genetic Engineering is the direct manipulation of the genome of a species by a higher order life form by artificial means.

Unlike artificial selection, selective breeding and other husbandry techniques to modify a species, Genetic Modification is the direct intervention and introduction of foreign genetic material into the genome of a species thus by-passing the natural RNA-DNA selection and recombination process.

Genetic Modification involves the introduction of primary types of foreign DNA into the hereditable DNA of a organism being Recombinant or Synthentic:

(i) Recombinant DNA (rDNA), also known as chimeric DNA, are foreign DNA sequences produced by artificial means and inserted into the genome of an organism to create genetic material that would not otherwise occur normally.

(ii) Synthentic DNA (sDNA), also known as artificial gene synthesis, are foreign DNA sequences produced wholly artificially without the need for existing DNA templates for replication.

Genetic Modification primarily focuses on the gene expression and not the associated genome relating to the creation instruction and use of a gene. Therefore, Genetic Modification involves modifying part of a genome without full knowledge or competence as to the complete function and processes of species in use of a gene.

As Genetic Modification bypasses the natural RNA-DNA selection and recombination process, it means the processes also bypass the natural safety mechanisms within biology to ensure micro mutations or macro mutations do not eventually produce extinction level side effects within a short evolutionary time period over one hundred (100) to one thousand (1000) years.

Given Genetic Modification is neither competent with the entire genome sequence and function associated with modifying a gene nor does it replace any naturally occurring safety mechanisms to avoid fatal mutations, it is an extremely dangerous and flawed approach to artificial selection.

As Genetic Modification is an extremely dangerous and flawed approach to artificial selection, it is forbidden to be used or applied to species identified as a food source for higher order organisms such as the Homo Sapien species.

As Genetic Modification to species identified as a food source for higher order organisms such as the Homo Sapien species is forbidden, all forms of genetically modified food are forbidden, suppressed and not permitted to be revived.

While Genetic Modification is identified as an extremely dangerous and flawed approach to artificial selection, it remains permitted in the strictest of conditions and oversight for therapeutic remedy and disease elimination where the Modification is to correct a genome error.
