Genetic engineering is the
direct treatment of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It is a set of
technologies used to alter the genetic makeup of cells, together with the
transport of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved
organisms. An example would be to
protect plant from insect damage, it can be made into a transgenic plant.
Transgenic plant are called genetically modified organisms (GMO) because there
is a gene added or removed in the original plant to obtain a set of
characteristic such as insect damage.

Persistent depressive disorder.
Persistent depressive disorder, known as dysthymia or low-grade depression, is less severe than major depression but more chronic. It occurs twice as often in women as in men. Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) is a serious and disabling disorder that shares many symptoms with other forms of clinical depression.
The Kidneys.
The plasma passes through the kidney where it is filtered, a special filtration unit called "glomeruli" and then excreted as a low molecular weighted product into the urine. The purpose of our urine is to secrete waste products from the body. So you can see how the glomerular filtration mechanism of the kidneys plays a major role in the function of our bodies. The primary function of our kidneys is to filter out all the "bad stuff" in lamest terms.
