biotechnology
artificial selection
pros
one pro of artificial selection is the fact that farmers can make more money. With this you can grow more crops easier and these will sell and you will be able to make more money.
another pro is making animals faster, stronger, healthier, etc. This can potentially make the animal more valuable and a breeder could make more money off of it.
cons
one con of artificial selection is that animal diversity will not exsist. Animals will eventually all end up very similar and diversity will not exist.
another con is that people's opinions might differ. one person might like a trait while the other won't so there will be disagreement there.
cloning
pros
One pro of cloning is giving families an opportunity to have a child that they may have lost in the past. This will give that family a sense of having that person around again.
Another pro of cloning is being able to keep a population of a species continuing before it goes extinct. This could help the ecosystem because they won't loose an animal species that was a big help in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
cons
One con of cloning is hurting the child, thinking they have to live up to their parents standards all the time because that was how they were created. This could cause a higher rate of depression in kids and teens.
Another con in cloning is loosing the diversity we have on earth. Now we all look different and have unique trait but with cloning this could potentially end.
GMOs
pros
GMO's can help keep fruits edible for longer. They can help keep apples, bananas, etc from browning keeping them eatable longer. This could help reduce the amount of food needed and could save food for future generations.
Another pro of GMO's are that they can withstand herbicides. This way we will have more clean food and we can waste less food from being killed or infected from herbicides.
cons
One con of a GMO is that the safety is unknown. We don't know if this could potentially harm or help the environment or people living in it. Also once they are released into the atmosphere they can not be taken out.
Another con of a GMO is that we do not know what the long term affects of GMO's are so we don't know how the environment will be affected in a couple of years.
bioremediation
pros
-
one pro is that this scan clean polluted soil. This will allow more crops to grow which will feed more people and potentially give people more profit.
cons
one con of bioremediation is that it is expensive to do. this makes sense because it is a lot of work to do this which means it will also be a lot of money.
another con is that this will take time. our environment is being polluted n ow so we don't know how much longer it can go without a solution.
