2. Genetically Modified Foods
Flavr-Savr tomato: The first “GM food” – engineered with a gene to resist rotting
Bt corn: A gene is added to the corn that produces a toxin that is poisonous to insects.
Fish genes in strawberries plants help them avoid freezing

3. Testing for Future Genetic Disorders
This involves examining the genes of a person (of any age, including genes from an embryo) to determine their risk for developing certain disorders.
A possible offshoot of this is being able to examine and/or change the traits of babies-to-be.

4. Therapeutic Cloning
This involves cloning human embryos that can be used as a source of cells to treat a person with a disease. The benefit of using these types of cells is that they are a genetic match for the patient receiving them.
