many of us do not agree with such a statement. It is true there are individuals in the world living in harsh conditions who require our hel p. Therefore, the little we give goes a long way in helping those in need even if it is used in buying a mosquito net as it will prevent the individual from contracting malaria (Singer, 29).

Starting at the beginning, although our ancestors did not have any knowledge of DNA, let alone genetics, they influenced the DNA of other organisms by selective breeding. Unknown to most, it is believed the first artificially selected organism was not a plant, but a dog about 32,000 years ago.
