2. To know what are the
benefits of GMOS in human
To know whate are the risks
of GMOS in human.
3. - GMO or the genetically modified
Organism is basically an Organism
that can be a plant, an animal or even
a microorganism that are modified
genetically in a laboratory to add
certain desired characteristics in
them.
4. Genetic engineering (also called genetic
modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based
technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an
organism. This may involve changing a single base
pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding
a new segment of DNA.
5. First is better varieties of crops.
- Scientists have genetically
engineered crops like tomato,
potato, rice and soybean to new
varieties.
6. First is better varieties of crops.
- With improved nutritional value and better yield, the genetically
modified strains can grow on tough terrains, making the area suitable for
cultivation.
- Engineered seeds can survive in harsh climatic conditions and are
resistant to pests.
- Biotechnology, the science of producing genetically engineered foods,
can slow down spoilage of perishable foods, resulting in the greater shelf life
of fruits and vegetables. And can also increase the quality and size of the
foods grown on these crops or increase certain nutrients such as protein or
calcium.
7. - Genetic engineering can be
applied to create totally new
substances in Food Nutrients.
- The genetic modification can
increase medicinal value of foods,
thereby turning them into edible
vaccines.
Secondly, we can now create new
substances.
8. - Genetic engineering can be
used to modify genotypes of
humans before birth.
- This process can manipulate
specific traits in a person, such as
enhancing positive traits like
boosting longevity and suppressing
negative traits like genetic disorders.
Third, modification of human
genes.
9. - The discovery of genes
associated with exceptional qualities
in humans has allowed genetic
engineers to artificially introduce
genotypes to modify the DNA of
human beings and desirable
functional and structural changes in
them.
Third, modification of human
genes.
10. - Some of the deadliest diseases in
the world have resisted destruction
till date. However, genetic
engineering could wipe out these
diseases forever from the human
race.
- Genetic mutations are responsible
for some dreaded diseases in
humans.
Fourth, fighting diseases.
11. - The sufferance can end with
active intervention and genetically
engineering, which can protect the
next generation from these
problems.
- Scientists are looking for a
permanent cure for terrible diseases
with the help of Genetic Engineering.
Fourth, fighting diseases.
12. - Advanced medical technology has
enabled doctors to detect certain
problems in unborn children.
Prenatal examinations can detect
whether the child will suffer from
genetic diseases such as Down
syndrome or sickle cell anemia.
Fifth Tackling Diseases in Unborn
Children.
13. - If these issues are detected, doctors can use genetic engineering to cure
diseases in children even before they are born. The infants would be born
healthy with no diseases present at birth.
- Genetic engineering can help people who are at risk of passing on awfully
degenerative illnesses to their offspring. If people suffering from genetic
disorders give birth, there are chances that the children will inherit the
disease.
- Genetic engineering can ensure that the children born to these individuals
live healthy and long lives and do not carry the disease to next generations.
Fifth Tackling Diseases in Unborn
Children.
14. - Medical science had enhanced the
lifespan of human beings, but there
are certain illnesses that can appear
later in life and kill individuals earlier
than their expected lifetime.
Sixth Enhanced Longevity.
15. - Genetic engineering can reverse bodies natural deterioration on a cellular
level, improving the lifespan as well as the quality of life afterward. In
addition, it could help individuals become accustomed to the growing
inconvenience.
- Like global warming, thanks to genetic engineering, people can adapt to
live in places that will be a lot colder or hotter in coming time.
- Apart from its multiple benefits, genetic engineering has exposed human
race to several disadvantages by allowing scientists to tread into territories
that were better left untouched.
Sixth Enhanced Longevity.
16. First is ethical and religious
objections.
- When genetic engineering was
introduced, many religions believed
that the genetic engineers were trying
to play God and forbade it to be used
on their children.
17. - There are several ethical
arguments that believe that the
diseases exist for a reason.
- If humans fight against them and
artificially extend their lifespan, the
planet will become overpopulated
and result in problems that cannot
possibly be predicted.
First is ethical and religious
objections.
18. - It is known that genetic engineering
can bring about changes at the cellular
level, but what about the safety of
these changes and repercussions of
the slightest changes?
- Scientists are yet to fully
understand the working of the human
body and they cannot predict what
would be the result of their actions.
Second is genetic anomalies.
19. - What will happen if erasing one
disease introduces another brand new
and more dangerous disease?
- If scientists genetically modify
unborn babies, it could result in
complications like still birth,
premature birth or miscarriage.
Second is genetic anomalies.
20. - Hanford diversity is an important
part of evolution that results in the
continuation of fitter and better
species.
- Genetically modifying species can
have a negative impact on genetic
diversity.
3rd Genetic diversity.
21. - Just like cloning, gene therapy is not
an affordable process and makes it
impossible for the common man to
benefit from it. Additionally, some
traits responsible for introducing
diversity and species may eventually
die out .
3rd Genetic diversity.
22. - An important thing to consider as
the scope of genetic engineering. The
technique has been in use for years,
but the question is, how far can it go?
4th long term use of genetic
engineering.
23. - While many scientists have been
diligently using the process to
eliminate worst illnesses, genetic
engineering has remained at the center
of controversy for altering the DNA of
living organisms.
- It has worked wonders for many, but
will it pan out real safe in the long run
as something that remains to be seen?
4th long term use of genetic
engineering.
24. - Genetically engineering foods, result
from the contamination of genetic
makeup of crops. The engineered
crops supersede natural weeds, but
they might prove to be dangerous for
natural vegetation.
- Unwanted genetic modifications can
cause allergies and crops and hamper
their dietary value while improving
their appearance and taste.
5th hamper dietary value.
25. - Genetic engineering and crops is
performed through horizontal gene
transfer. While this process can boost
disease fighting capability of plants, it
can produce new pathogens.
- The disease resistant genes can get
transferred to dangerous pathogens
and make them stronger.
Six entry of pathogens.
26. - This shows that genetic engineering has its own set of benefits
and disadvantages. It is up to the scientists using this technique to
apply it after weighing its the pros and cons.
- While GMOs offer numerous benefits, there are also potential
risks to our health, so it is crucial to remain cautious.
