Biotechnology
cloning
pros:Cloning could prove helpful in the research of genetics With the use of cloning, organisms can be customized to suit the needs of whatever research purposes being done
cons: There are a number of negatives involved with reproductive cloning, and they are listed below. Some of the arguments are religious in nature. Cloning children could foster an understanding that children can be designed and replicated to the parents’ wishes.
GMOs
pros
Despite biotech industry promises, there is no evidence that any of the GMOs currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
new technologies are now being used to artificially develop other traits in plants, such as a resistance to browning in apples, and to create new organisms using synthetic biology.

Biomedation
pros
Micro-organisms are well known for their ability to break down a huge range of organic compounds and absorb inorganic substance
Uses micro-organisms to reduce pollution through the biological degradation of pollutants into non-toxic substances.
cons
Wastewater entering a treatment plant is aerated to provide oxygen to bacteria that degrade organic material and pollutants.
Air is polluted by a variety of volatile organic compounds created by a range of industrial processes.
Artificial Selection
pros: It will allow needed traits to be produced quickly and effectively. It creates the potential for added profitability.
cons: There can be unanticipated consequences of encouraging a specific trait. It lessens the amount of variation that exists in a gene pool.
