What are the pros and cons of biotechnology?
The arguments, pro and con, relating to biotechnology began a long time ago and continue to this day. Biotechnology can add additional components to our foods, create medicines and help us understand the world around us. However, there are many arguments that scientists should not change the world at their will. There are possible dangers, some sources relate, concerning adding genes to foods when the genes were not there before. These arguments explain that fruits and vegetables may be changed for the worse and may spread these changes to wild organisms, ruining the Earth’s environment. It is important to know both sides of the biotechnology argument and learn the science of biotechnology and the scientific limits before choosing a side. Respectfully listening to scientists, environmentalists, government officials, teachers and parents can be a good way to understand lots of different perspectives.
