This paper do the research on the potential ecological and human health consequences of Bt plants, including effects on nontarget organisms, food safety, and the development of resistant insect populations. And it get the alternative insect management strategies. It turns out that scientists do not have full knowledge of the risks and benefits of any insect management strategies. The Bt plants has great benefit.

This essay provides a multiple angle of research and view on one specific type of transgenic plant which give us a overall …show more content…

Since it also give us a way to control and assess the transgenic crops, we can find the importance and difficulty of the assessment. We can draw the conclusion that the technology and guideline in assessing transgenic crops is not thorough and need to be improved. Besides, the framework designed by the author is under limitations.

This paper give the concept that genetic engineering provides a means to introduce genes into plants that are different in some respects from classical breeding. Gene transfer in animals will play a part in boundless possibilities of improving qualitative and quantitative traits. If the yield has negative effects of gene technology on animals, human, and environment should be considered. Present study has both positive and negative impacts of genetically modified food on human …show more content…

It is objective and fair. It clearly gives the reason that why scientists wants to create GMOs. The benefit from genetic engineering is obvious and reasonable.

Disputes over human genetic engineering concern the means for achieving assumed ends, rather than being a healthy discussion about the ends themselves. This book not only explores how decisions about the ethics of human genetic engineering are made, but also shows how the structure of the debate has led to the technological choices we now face.

It is the ultimate question we will face. We have already create many things we want, and we even can rebuilt organs for the wounded. It is not even a problem of science and technology——which we can easily do nowadays. But the problem is, What we want to see in the
