Ethical, Financial, Social, and Humanitarian Issues with Recombinant DNA Technology
- Benefits of recombinant DNA use in creating GM organisms include increased yield, nutritional enhancement, and pest resistance.
- Limitations include potential health risks, environmental impact, and ethical concerns.
- Viewpoints vary based on individual perspectives, values, and knowledge about genetic modification.
- Specific example: Modifying tomatoes raises no issues of animal cruelty.
- Context is key for understanding the benefits and limitations of genetic modification with recombinant DNA.
