@Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

This seems like an opinion question

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

i know ......

Mehek (mehek14):

so just put your opinion about genetic engineering

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

i dont know what is genetic engineering

Mehek (mehek14):

genetic engineering is the process of adding new DNA to an organism

Mehek (mehek14):

So basically they add 1+ traits that the organism doesn't have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a way for doctors to get rich XP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats my opinion onett XP

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

oksy

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\Huge\color{black}Pros:\\1)Improves~the~value~of~crops\\2)can~help~create~new~foods\\3)Can~give~unique~traits~to~humans\\4)Can~prevent~pests\)

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\Huge\color{black}Cons: \\ 1)Can~affect~diversity\\ 2)Genetic~problems \\ 3)Risky~pathogens\\4) Infectivity~ of~ genes~ in~ root~ crops\)

Mehek (mehek14):

so based on that, you can write your opinion

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

wow thanks

Mehek (mehek14):

Don't really agree with it. Genetic engineering for like animals and produce reduces the 'quality' of something. Something like a mix of a peach and an apple for example, lets call it a 'papple'. The 'papple' can be increasing your risk for further health problems, etc. These foods that are being mutated and genetically engineered are preventing u from getting the healthy intake that u get from natural fruits. And I guess if u mutate or gen. engineer a bug, you are making something that is so advanced and dangerous. If a gen. engineered mosquito went and bit a diseased animal for energy and then bit somebody, this bug would infect a much larger populace. Bottom line, I don't really believe in genetic engineering, I just believe in doing everything all natural. Only kind of engineering I believe in is for medical research. Mutating genes and things for vaccines to help people for good reasons. It's difficult for me to explain some of the reasons, can't really find the words lol. Hopefully, some other ppl feel the same as I do. 😜
