Genetic Engineering- Cloning
Pros
Example
Cons
Through Genetic cloning you can fix or strengthen, weak, defective genes to help make people stronger and immune to more things. This could be as simple as changing a alergy to making your genes really strong nd athletic.
This could help people who are infertile and cant have a baby. With altered, cloned DNA they can clone someones DNA to give the baby their traits then the baby will grow over time externally not in their body.
Cloning interferes with nature beacse cloning is a natural way of life creation. This can cause some people to have ethical problems with it.
Cloning can result in quick aging because when cloning DNA you are creating celles that are already older. This make it possible that this could lead to premature aging resulting in a life not live as long.
Cloning is a DNA altering process where you take one organisms DNA and duplicate it to create a similar organism. This can be paired with genetic engineering where scientists can create a duplicate organisms and try to improve it.
Bioremediation
Pros
One pro of using Bioremediation is that its very low cost for how effective it is. Its because of the low cost that it is often used in large scale situations where the microbes need to cover a large area.
Another pro of Bioremediation is being able to break down organisms with out the creation of pollution.
Example
Cons
One con of using Bioremediation is that the microbes are not controlled so there is a possibility that the organism is not fully broken down.
Another con of using Bioremediation is that it takes longer than other methods.
Description
Stem Cells
Pros
It could have the potential to be used in situations for embryonic treatments.
Example
Cons
People Have ethical issues with it.
Stem cell research can be really expensive

Genetic Engineering
Pros
Pro 1
Pro2
Example
Cons
We don't know enough yet aboutGenetic engineering to avoid unpredictable consequences. THis can make it dangerous and result in us creating something harmful.
Description
Biotechnology in the Medical Field
Pros
Through Biotechnology in the medical field, they use a technology called CRISPR. This allows doctors to edit patient's DNA to do thing s like correcting genetic defects, treating diseases, preventing the spread of diseases, improving crops, and more.
Tissue nano transfection is another type of technology that can simply heal someone with a single touch. It works by injecting genetic code into skin cells with a touch on tissue like skin, this then converts those skin cells into the other cells required for treating diseases. This can be very beneficial by allowing humans to heal their skin by allowing tissues nano transfection to help heal things like burns, diseases, and serious medical problems.
Example
Cons
Another major problem with it is the fact that its soo new so its not the safest in things like clinical trials. Because the technology is still not completely understood so this makes clinical trial where we are testing the technology on humans very dangerous and can even end in results of death
Description
Genetic Engineering- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Pros
They make it easier for farmer to grow food by being resistant to insects and also by being able to grow in more harsh conditions opposed to if they were not modified.
They can also enhance the consumer's experience of eating food. Food can be Genetically modified to have more flavor and taste better.
Example
Cons
Some people believe consuming GMO's may lead to cancer cells developing in your body. This can be dangerous and very harmful so some people avoid GMO's at all costs.
GMO's can cause people to have allergic reactions to food they wouldn't have if the food wasn't modified.

Biomass/Biofuels
Pros
One good outcome of using biomass energy is that it is renewable energy. This makes it a energy source we will have forever because it is infinite.
Another pro of biomass energy is that it helps reduce the use of fossil fuels. This in turn reduces the amount of pollution in the atmosphere and helps twardsfixing climate change..
Example
Cons
Another con of biomass energy is it leads to major deforestation. Biomass energy relies on burning things like wood chips which relies on trees which can cause major forests to be cut down just for fuel.
Description
The research could potentially lead to the cure of many diseases.
Through stem cell research scientists have found it possible that Parkinson's Disease could be treatable with stem cells.
Stem Cells are a type of cell that are undifferentiated and can become all other body cells. Scientists are researching these to try to use stem cells to regrow and replace body parts and create a more personalized type of treatment.
With more research scientists could make humans immune to things like diseases and cancer which could benifit Man kind.
One example of genetic Engineering is creating glow in the dark animals. One instance of this was when a south korean scientist in 2007 altered a cats dna to make it glow in the dark.
Genetic engineering is when some one manually alters an organisms DNA by adding new DNA. In result this shouldadd one or more new traits to the organism to make it more unique or to change it for a specific purpose..
This can allow us to learn and understand more about humans and other organisms.
It could cause countries to create super soldiers that would be unstopable. This would not be good and could eventually cause that country to take over the world.
Description
An example of cloning is where farmers clone their live stock to produce more milk, eggs and meat
GMO stands for genetically modified organism which is an organism that has modified dna. This is a process that is used all the time in the food industrie.
One example of GMOs is plants that can help humans detect landmines. The plant would change colors when it detects a land mine near by.
One major problem with medical Biotechnology is its very expensive. This limits the amount of people who have this as an option for treatment, it excludes people with less money.
One example of medical biotechnology is the use of maggots to help get rid of the rotting flesh. This was a technique used in wars to quickly and accurately get rid of rotten flesh to soon be replaced with new healthy flesh.
Biotechnology in the Medical Field is the use of biotechnology to help people heal within the medical community. This takes many forms and ways to be done. It can be very innovative and helpful however it can cause an arm and a leg as well as dangerous because of it being so new.
One negative thing that comes out of using biomass energy is the emissions. It In addition to CO2, burning biomass fuels results in the release of various other harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, NOx and VOCs.
Biomass energy is a type of clean renewable energy that is formed from burning plants trees and other organic materials. Scientists are trying to replace conventional fuels with biofuels. This energy can be used for fuel, power, and bioproducts to recycle.
Biomass energy is trying to be integrated into use for fueling transportation. This includes diesel, gasoline and jet fuel.
Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms to solve environmental problems such as contaminated groundwater or soil. Through this process, it helps prevent pollution and get rid of the pollutants.
One example of Bioremediation is the use of it to clean up oil spills. in this situation it is preferred to use Bioremediation because of its effectiveness.
