Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 11BS
Cloning is a fiercely debated topic in our country. Most of the ethical debates concerning cloning center on the cloning of animals. There is not much talk about the cloning of plants Do you have the same opinion about cloning plants and animals? Why or why not? Do you think fiat they should be similarly regulated? What unique problems might each present?

Do you agree or disagree why?
Prior to this video I had not been introduced to the concept of genetically modified babies or "designer babies". However, a concept that was brought up in comparison to the designer babies was IVF babies. This concept is more familiar to me and made me think of the great possibilities designer babies could bring, but at what cost? As IVF first became popular it seemed to be well known that was was a possibility for well-off financially families. Although designer babies may have benefits such as lowering the risk to develop hereditary diseases, I don't think this concept would be widely accessible to varying income levels.

- What is your stand about the application of Biotechnology in Animal agriculture? Are you in favor or against it? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardThere are a range of ethical issues associated with cloning. However, many of these are not applied to cloning plants. Explain why the idea of cloning an entire plant is generally accepted while cloning an entire human is not.arrow_forwardThe genetic modification of plants for food is a hot-button issue around the world. Genes transplanted to corn, potato, soybean, and other food strains can confer desired traits, such as resistance to pests, which lessens the need for toxic pesticides. Though genetically modified foods are thought to be safe to eat, their impact on the environment may not be fully known. Do you worry about the long-term effects of genetically modified foods on your health, or the health of the environment? Do the positive impacts outweigh the negatives?arrow_forward
- What genetically engineered products do you currently use or consume? Are they safe? Why or why not?arrow_forwardTherapeutic cloning is a process of producing embryonic stem cells that could possibly be used to grow healthy tissues and organs. The process involves the removal of the nucleus from a mature somatic cell and injecting this nucleus into an unfertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide and, after four to five days, embryonic stem cells begin to form. These embryonic stem cells are unique in that they can develop into different types of tissues, and scientists believe they can direct the cells to develop into specific tissue types that they choose. What are some possible applications of therapeutic cloning? Explain your answer. BIUarrow_forwardGenetic engineering of plants provides an opportunity to alter their properties or performance in order to improve upon their utility. Such technology may be used to modify the expression of genes already present in the plants, or to introduce new genes of other species with which the plant cannot be bred conventionally. In fact, humans have engaged in genetic manipulation for millennia, producing plant and animal varieties through selective breeding and hybridization that significantly modify genomes of organisms. How has this technology created novel genetic information by specific alteration of cloned genes? (provide an example). Why do you think modern genetic engineering, has met with so much opposition? Should some forms of genetic engineering be of greater concern than others? Explain. In your response provide a specific example from literature to describe the implications of this technology (good or bad).arrow_forward
- The use of genetically modified organisms in areas of agriculture and medicine is favored by many. However, knowing that possible risks may occur as a result of their usage, organizations who are pro-people’s right deem it necessary to oppose the commercialization of these genetically engineered products. As a youth, what is your stand to this issue and how would you make your position clear?arrow_forwardAddressing the issue of climate change is recognised as one of world’s greatest challenge. In trying to find approaches to effectively manage the risks of climate change, scientists are focusing on ways in which biotechnology might be valuable.With reference to the impacts of climate change on agriculture, review FIVE different approaches in which modern biotechnology can potentially be used to address climate change problems. Include examples in your review. Comment on whether the approaches given raise any ethical issues for societyarrow_forward1. Do you think genetic engineering is a real solution? What about using genetics as a crime control or treatment method? What ethical issues would this raise? 2. What are some of the problems facing women in the corrections workplace? Are these the same kinds of problems found throughout the criminal justice system are they unique? Explain your answer. 3. What is the relationship between incarceration rates in this country and crime rates? Which seems to be driving the other? Does the research show that the relationship is intuitive or counterintuitive?arrow_forward
- What is biotechnology, and how is it different from traditional plant breeding?arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of Producing genetically modified organisms to enhance food production, Combining two or more genes in one organism to enhance its traits and DNA manipulation of certain species to produce organs for harvesting.arrow_forwardMany people are opposed to the production of transgenic crop plants. Do you feel that position is justified?arrow_forward
