Transgenic Engineering Research

Introduction

Genetically modified organisms use by transferring genes horizontally between species that do not interbreed . It is a technology that offers limitless promise . But there are many sides to every issue . This research will explore the positive and negative effect of transgenic engineering politically , environmentally and ethically

Political

Ronnie Cummins says Life science corporations proclaim , with great fanfare , that their new products will make agriculture sustainable eliminate world hunger , cure disease , and vastly improve public health That helps

our government sustain the economic development

But others says like Dr . Michael Antoniou , a British molecular scientist Genetic engineering of food and fiber products is inherently unpredictable and dangerous--for humans , for animals , the environment and for the future of sustainable and organic agriculture . Gene-splicing has already resulted in the unexpected production of toxic substances in genetically engineered bacteria , yeast , plants , and animals with the problem remaining undetected

until a major health hazard has arisen

Environment

There are no safeguards against biological pollution . The driving force behind the research is profit- not the well-being of humanity or the planet

William E . Crist , USA , taking the poll on BBC NEWS (1998 ) says that Genetic engineering poses the single greatest threat to the health of this planet , both for humans and the environment . And , because long-term safety testing is not required by governments , it means the public becomes guinea pigs in a global experiment . Fooling around with the deepest structures of natural law in living organisms is inherently risky and dangerous because it violates the natural species barriers created by our creator . They call it transgenic but it is really mutagenic . And , mutating the world food supply will go down in history (a few years from now ) as the biggest blunder of this past millenium which is coming to a close . Why tamper with the food that our creator has given us which has proven itself safe over thousands and perhaps millions of years ? It is only because the biotech industry wants self-profit . It is not necessary . So , why gamble with public health and the delicate balance of nature ? It is simply nuts ! I only pray that enough sensible people speak out and stand up and insist on an outright ban of these extremely dangerous gene manipulated foods and crops

Richard Kidd , US taking the poll on BBC NEWS (1998 ) Genetic engineering 's purpose is not to destroy bio-diversity by melding the world 's crops into one super-vegetable . It is , instead , about allowing each crop to reach its fullest potential for the survival of the human race

Society

Transgenic Engineering is the only alternative needed by society to solve different problems

HYPERLINK " \o "WOLFGANG ROUGLE " Wolfgang Rouglei (2006 ) says I dislike transgenic engineering because I think it debases our potential to clearly see this imperfect and sufficient world . From the human point of view , nature is not ideal . She does not function for us alone she is inefficient in producing what we like best and unpleasantly extravagant with...
