Genetic engineering works

• Genetic engineering


  Works because there is one language of life
• There is no limit in theory to the potential of genetic engineering
• Genetic engineering creations


  • Chicken with four legs and no wings
  • Crops that grow in desert heat, or without fertilizer
  • Bananas or other fruit which contain vaccines or other medical products
• GMOs in Non-Food Crops and Microorganisms

  • Flower production
  • Paper production
  • Pharmaceutical productions
  • Bioremediation
  • Enzyme and drug production
  • GMOs in the medical field
• Benefits of GMO


  • Crops: Better taste and quality, Less time to ripen, More nutrients, more food, and stress tolerance, Improved resistance to disease, pests, and herbicides, New products and growing techniques
  • Animals: Increased resistance, productivity, hardiness, and feed efficiency, Better yields of meat, eggs, and milk, Improved animal health and diagnostic methods
  • Environment: "Friendly" bioherbicides and bioinsecticides, Conservation of soil, water, and energy, Better natural waste management, More efficient processing
  • Society: More food for growing populations
• Potential Risks of GMO

  • Safety: Potential human health impact: allergens, transfer of antibiotic resistance markers, unknown effects, Potential environmental impact: unintended transfer of transgenes through cross pollination, loss of flora and fauna biodiversity
  • Access and Intellectual Property: Domination of world food production by a few companies, Increasing dependence on Industralized nations by developing countries
  • Ethics: Violation of natural organisms' intrinsic values, Tampering with nature by mixing genes among species, Objections to consuming animal genes in plants and vice versa, Stress for animal
