Genetic engineering (GE) is the technique and science of intervention into the genetic mechanisms of an organism, whether it be micro‐organism, plant, animal or human. GE is one of the most socially contested of technologies. In the public debate, the terms GE and biotechnology are often used synonymously; yet, in a narrower sense, GE is only one important technique in the field of biotechnology
