Example: 
- Modified corn
- Modified soy

Ethical Issues:
- Long term effects
-  Food Additives
- Disease non-resistant]]> 2017-10-16 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285732 lyna48564 https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285733 Definition: a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size.

Ethical Issues
-  Misuse of DNA profile
-  Privacy]]> 2017-10-16 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285734 lyna48564 https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285735 Definition:  involving the development, use, and destruction of human embryos

Example:
- Hematopoietic stem cells
- Embryonic Stem Cells
- Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

Ethical Issues:
- Destruction of Human Embryos

Example: 
- Golden Rice
- Blue Roses
- Vaccine Producing 
- Bananas

Ethical Issues:
-Interfering with nature
- Effects of the transgenics on the environment]]> 2017-10-16 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285736 lyna48564 https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285737 Definition: replicate (a fragment of DNA placed in an organism) so that there is enough to analyze or use in protein production.

Example: 
- Gene Cloning
- Reproductive Cloning
- Therapeutic Cloning

Ethical Issues:
-  Genetic Damages to Clone
- Health risks to the mother
- Low successful rate
- Psychological harm]]> 2017-10-16 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285737 lyna48564 https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285738 Definition: the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology

Example: 
- Treating Diseases
- Modifies Genes
- Genome Editing

Ethical Issues:
- Affects Genetics ]]> 2017-10-16 11:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lyna48564/clk7ldreswyc/wish/197285739
