Gene Technology


     Firstly I would like to say that gene technology is ethically wrong and certain laws should be made against it. With the use of gene technology, genetically modified food has been grown. This is not natural; it’s like adding something artificial into our once naturally grown crops. Medical tissue engineering is of recent research, and is appalling to see that this is being encouraged in the media because this is not a natural food source, it was been manipulated and modified. The aspect of gene technology that I most highly disagree with is cloning. Cloning is unnatural and should not be researched about because the research could be more harmful than beneficial. Why do we need genetically modified food? We have never had a serious shortage or any threat of a possible extinction of crops so we don’t need genetically modified food now. As with introduced exotic species, once genetically modified crops and animals are out in the environment they cannot be recalled; they could cause an entire ecosystem change that couldn’t be reversed. The increased costs for keeping apart crops and animals will probably lead to higher prices for consumers. How does fresh meat that has come from a living animal eating luscious fresh food compare to a pieces of meat created on a pee tree dish? Well it doesn’t. Fresh food is more than just the sum of parts, its natural and full of totally natural un-modified vitamins and nutrition. Isn’t medical research telling us to eat more fresh food? Fresh food being natural unprocessed food from living organisms that grow and die of natural cause not produced and manipulated in a laboratory. Nothing can compare to the fresh flesh of something naturally grown, the laboratory made, artificial meats have not consumed fresh foods, and they are merely the result of a science experiment called medical tissue engineering. Cloning is dangerous and will cause many deaths in order to further research it. In the experiment of making the first living sheep Dolly, and the first canine through cloning cause hundreds of miscarriages and unwell animals, this isn’t fair to these animals, which have to suffer the pain and sickness just because of our medical experiments. Cloning could become uncontrolled if humans reproduced themselves into a superior race. If you can’t find out a way of conducting medical research without harming any living things then they shouldn’t be carried out. Just because we can do this, it doesn’t mean we should. Do we really need gene technology, isn’t giving us the original unmodified, fresh and healthy meat from our animals, it can’t give us naturally growth crops that where grown in the dirt. We have been coping fine without any modified foods, so we shouldn’t feel the need to use them now. And Cloning is dangerous and harmful, and could become out of control, so laws need to be placed against it.
