Genetic engineering is the recent phenomenon revolutionised Agricultural and health care industry. It is considered to be hazardous and some believe that it should be limited
In certain degree I acknowledge
this
statement
however
the growing population and the
food
scarcity should be addressed and many vaccinations could help the human race to survive and thrive.
This
essay will elucidate the merits and downsides of genetic engineering.
Modern science has considered altering the genes of animals
microbes and crops would be solution to
food
scarcity and many diseases.
Firstly
altered genes could completely change the DNA of the animals and the plants
Therefore
the people who consume in the long term will have a terminal ill effect
such
as the probability of getting many unknowns deceases.To illustrate
scientist developed goats whose DNA implanted it from spider cobweb protein cells to produce silk
considered to be
than normal goat
benefit the humans sustainable health
is not proven that the decease of spider might have transferred to the altered DNA of that goat
hence
we have not yet to know that how safe is to use
this
milk for humans in the long run.
Furthermore
altering the animal DNA will have dire consequences of the gene pool of that animal
hence
most cases they couldn’t extend their lives
For instance
, stem cell and cloning technology developed Dolly the sheep couldn’t survive long.
Moreover
genetically modified crops have less nutritional value and the terminal effects is not known due to the fact that genetic engineering has only around 30 years of journey
thus
lead to the restriction in many European countries unlike
.
In contrast
Although
many demerits are prevailing in the field of genetic engineering we should agree the fact that growing populations demand interns of of global hunger need to be addressed
hence
the
this
technology has had tremendous potential in the
food
industry.
Therefore
, farmers could produce more harvest and the crops are pests and herbicides resistant.
Additionally
, scientists have found many vaccines, which could help humans to survive from many severe diseases
consequently
life expectancy can be extended.Having said that
many animal lives are sacrificed to go through
this
process to be successful.
In conclusion,
Although
genetic engineering has helped the human race to flourish
it has had the perilous effect which would be the irrefutable facts.Many governments restricted the use of genetically modified
food
crops due to the same intention to the fact that it has various demerits
nevertheless
, we cannot abandon the enormous benefit which could help the progress of the human race.
