Biotechnology

     Over  the  past  decade,  Biotechnology  has  advanced  much  to  the
advantage of  many  people.  We  have  learned  that  with  certain  chemicals,
we  are  able  to  cut-and-paste  the  DNA  of  certain  organisms,  and  alter
them  to  comply  to  our sociable  needs.  But  this  can  also  affect  modern
medicine,  political  factors, economic,  and  societal  balances  in  our
nation.
     For  medicine,  Biotechnology  has  been  a  blessing,  healing  people
who suffer  from  a  sex-linked  trait  known  as  Hemophilia.  Hemophilia  is
a  condition where  the  person  may  die  of  blood  loss  when  cut or
wounded.  This  is  caused  by a  lack  of  a  certain  chemical  known  as
Factor  9,  which  allows  the  patient  to  heal from  wounds.  Scientists  may
now  insert  a  gene  into  the  patients  own  DNA causing  the  patient  to
heal  skin,  which  has  been  impossible until  now,  with Genetic-Engineering.
I  doubt  that  there have  been  any  real  disadvantages  with  this
technology,  since  it  works  to  heal  the  patient,  but  we  really  can't
predict  what kind  of  medical  misfits  there  will  be  in  the  future,
using  this  life-saving technology  to  their  own  personal,  perhaps  evil,
advantages.
     Dealing  with  politics,  Bioengineering  has  opened  a  whole  new
door pertaining  to  the  military,  whose  use  of  it  may  create  an
ultimate  destruction.  The alterance  of  nature  is  un-natural,  and  creates
an  unbalancement  in  life.  When  we use  this  technology  towards  the
wrong  side,  we  may  all  be  burned.  You  see, Biotechnology  has  the
ability  to  altar  what  diseases  we  humans  are  susceptible  to, and  when
scientists  create  something  to  eliminate  immunities  to  diseases,  it  may
result  in  a  mass  destruction  of  the  evolved  living  being  known  as
the  human. This  may  sound  tragic,  but  this  is  what  Biotechnology  is
all  about;  changing genes  so  that  they  may  fit  our  societal  and
economic  needs.  The  government  has probably  taken  this  germ-warfare  in
to  consideration,  and  is  leading  to  an unhappy  resolution.  In  this
case,  Biotechnology  has  no  advantages.
     Socially,  Biotechnology  is  a  breakthrough  in  science.  Our  new
techniques of  giving  nature  a  hand,  in  this  case,  will  pave  the  road
of  the  genetic  highway to  come  in  the  future.  We  are  now  able  to
create  the  perfect  toma...
