stem cells
stem cells can become any type of cell to help replace old worn out cells.
cons
pros
they can become any type of cell to help replace the weak and old cells
i see no cons with this cell
they can also help replace body parts so that we can live longer
genetic engineering
genetic engineering is where we can make the charistic of a person before they are born.
pros
cons
people would become smarter and stronger to fit the needs of survival
people would look more alike and there would be less diversity in our society
people also would not get to choose the path they take because parents would pick how they learn and act
people could evolve and become better in every way.
cloning
being able to clone something or make a perfect replica
pros
people would have others who think and talk like them
it would be easier to deal with death because you could always have a clone
cons
people would be less diverse
people would also loose a sense of death because they would not have to worry about losing a loved one forever because they could always just clone them
You could get and injection of stem cells to help with dying cells so we could live longer
you could make a child that was born with a higher brain function
you could clone a pet or even a person to make it so you don't lose them
GMO's
GMO's are genetically modified orgamsms and they canbe helpful because humans could make it so food is healthier and better to eat.
They have already modified salmon so that it grows to a full size faster .now it grows to full size in 18 months wile it used to take 3 years.
pros
cons
it could make animals better than humans making us not to top of the food chain. it could also make new types of poisons and drugs from modified plants.
they could make life longer for plants or animals or they could make food more nutritious for humans.
Biotechnology for medical use
Medical biotechnology is a branch of medicine that uses living cells and cell materials to research
an example is when you use a modified bug for health uses like making a mosquito only suck out pathogens in the blood so we get sick less often.
pros
cons
it could help severely decrease the amount of people that get drastically wounded in war or even car accidents.
it could be used to make animal with poison that has o cure and will kill many people.
Biomass
Biofuel
biomass ia any earthly substance that grows.
biofuel is when we use earthy biomass for energy
pros
it is not a limited substance and can be found almost anywhere.
it also can regro so there is an unlimited supply
cons
it will take a wile to transfer to biofuel and biofuel farms will need to be set up.
bioremediation
it is a term of how many technologies we have to treat soil and help grow stuff.
it could be use to help grow crops better and also to make better foods to eat from using good soil to grow the ingredients.
pros
cons
The process is sensitive to the level of toxicity and environmental conditions
we could use it to help make better and healthier food.
we could also use it to make foods taste better and it would make to make the soil better for growing conditions
Field monitoring to track the rate of biodegradation of the organic contaminants is advised.
