Websites on genetic engineering
The following websites will help you with your research on genetic engineering:
GM Food Special Report from New Scientist.com
This site examines the implications, questions, ethics, and unknowns of genetically modified (GM) organisms, which include gene therapy, fetal cell research, transgenic plants, and genetic engineering. Some articles cover specific projects, such as genetically modified trees and fish, while others elaborate general concerns relating to genetic manipulation. From the online version of New Scientist magazine

Council for Responsible Genetics
The charge of this organization is to provide the public, researchers, legislators, etc. comprehensive information regarding the social implications of biotechnology. Read position papers regarding various aspects of this issue, check out their analysis of related legislation and issues such as the "gay gene" and genetic privacy.

Genetically Engineered Organisms - Public Issues Education (GEO-PIE) This website is a production of the Cornell University Cooperative Extension Program. "The GEO-PIE Project was developed to create objective educational materials exploring the complex scientific and social issues associated with genetic engineering, to help readers consider those issues for themselves." Well laid out site with balanced information. Especially interesting is the "In the Market" section, which details which food products we are currently eating that have been genetically engineered.
Union of Concerned Scientists - Food and Environment . Genetic Engineering This site gives a good overview of the issues surrounding genetic engineering and includes information on genetic engineering basics, cloned animals, risks and benefits of genetic engineering and alternatives to genetic engineering. There are also links to further web resources on the topic.
