What are some of the examples of biotechnology that have made improvements to your life?

Describe how one of these has made your life better.

Do you have any concerns with biotechnology? Explain.

Part 2

In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved food derived from cloned animals. In addition, these products will not need to be labeled as “cloned” or “from clones” (Black, 2008). The FDA explains that you will not be eating the clone itself. It takes thousands of dollars to clone a food animal such as a cow or pig. Animals that are cloned for improved food production will be used for a breeding program to produce many offspring with the desirable traits for increased meat or milk yield. These offspring of the clones will be fair game for food. Discuss the following:

Do you think there are differences between a clone and a "normal" animal?

How do you feel about eating a cloned animal?

Is your opinion of eating a cloned plant different?

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used throughout the assignment.

The most important use of biotechnology which made difference in life was use of insulin made through biotechnology and so price become so cheapo and easilt available for even normal middle class public. Other use of biotechnology in life

Concern with biotechnology is that just the use of modified organism or plant should be judge before use and should not be having any affect later on. As in case of pox vaccine seen 1 in 10000 gets disease instead of immunity.

Part 2

The consequence what we might be worried of that reproduction through cloning can lead to an increasing level of virus and disease in each generation and also The Center for Food Safety pointed that clones might be inferior animals – requiring more antibiotics. Also genetic diversity is reduce with cloning involves plants or animals. so in that way eating cloned palnt would be quite different than animals in my thought.

Also the worry is that during experiment the animals are kept in cage and face pain and so many other stuff which if people see they may even hesitate to use the product in sympathy.
