This could end up with people having severe reactions all across the country. There is also the possibility of the new protein moving to weeds or other plants. This could cause weeds to be extremely resistant.]]> 2020-02-28 15:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026650 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026671 Allergies because some people could end up dying if they do not know what is in their food.
Spreading to other crops because the seeds from one crop can end up breeding with another one near by and make another type of crop they may not be good.]]> 2020-02-28 15:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026671 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026813 Allergies can arise when adding GMO's into everything. This is dangerous because some people can be allergic to somethings. Another concern is how GMO's are affecting living animals. We do not know all the side effects until later on.]]> 2020-02-28 15:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026813 mdenn9640 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026819 Pros. Big food better food
cons. toxic foods and foods that mutate other foods ]]> 2020-02-28 15:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452026819 csing7989 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452028639 Genetic engineering is relatively still in its infancy, though that probably won't stop many from attempting to engineer powerful bio-weapons that could have lethal effects on the human populace. Although potentially less dangerous than nuclear weapons, it should be (and already is) of concern to prevent certain groups from engineering biological weapons or from gaining access to them.

Otherwise, biotechnology and genetic engineering can have profoundly benign effects on human welfare and even the natural environment if used properly.]]> 2020-02-28 15:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452028639 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452067641 Allergies: In some cases, if we add toxins to crops to produce insect resistance, there could be unknown effects on human health. The proteins and toxins produced by the plant could cause a severe allergic reaction, resulting in death or permanent damage. This is important because it could affect the human population, and result in fatalities. 

Weed Resistance: The GMOs in crops could potentially spread to other plants surrounding the GMOs. This could result in unwanted effects, and it can also cause weeds to become super-resistant. If this happens, then farmers will have to deal with more problems and crops could be wiped out. This could cause a shortage of crop, which is not good.

These modifications in our food supply aren't natural and can therefore cause potential allergic reactions or health concerns. Since we would be distributing the crops to a large number of people, there is a greater risk for human fatalities.
Diffusion- The genes can spread via plant viruses and plasmids to other non-genetically modified crops and begin to breed. This is especially risky if it spreads to weeds because it would be difficult to eradicate them.]]> 2020-02-28 16:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452071995 tyang9912 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452075049 Allergies- There are huge risks to eating something not knowing whether its going to kill/hurt you or not. 
The effect on living animals- There is a risk of hurting animals if they eat these GMOs. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452075049 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452076146 Disruption of Natural Biodiversity
Genetic diversity helps individual species adjust to new conditions, diseases and pests, and can aid ecosystems in adapting to a changing environment or severe conditions like drought or floods. Without these organisms the sustainability of our ecosystems will be disturbed. 
Allergies
Allergic reactions have been known to be a result of some genetically modified organisms. As a person with allergies I understand the danger of this risk. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452076146 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452076902 One risk is people with allergies because some have very sensitive to every food. 
Genes can also spread to other things and cause problems and create certain foods we do not even mean to make. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452076902 twess4576 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452077382 The problem of the GMO spreading to other natural plants is a concern because it could cause the regular plants to grow new DNA that scientists do not know about. Another problem would be how it affects people in the long run, GMO has not been around long enough to have a good amount of testing to know what would happen to the person. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452077382 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452079920 The first problem is allergies because some people can have physical reactions to GMO. These foods aren't natural and if the pollen from these GMOs cross over to other plants, we could have more problems. 

Genetic Diversity 
These new GMOs could out compete the native species and cause problems. Like in BT Corn, the pests they are trying to fight against could become resistant to them or weeds could also become super weeds. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452079920 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452084428 One ethic that I think is important is allergies. Some people may be allergic to the chemicals that we put into our gmos. Another is genetic diversity. GMOs can cause damage to many ecosystems by decreasing biodiversity.]]> 2020-02-28 16:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452084428 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452085119 One ethic of biotechnology that I think is important would be allergies because people have bad reactions to such. Lastly another ethic that I think is important would be how they effect the animals around them. ]]> 2020-02-28 16:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452085119 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452121382 GMO can cause farmers who are not using genetically modified plants to get the effects if a neighbor has GMO plants. People are also concerned about what GMOs and some even refuse to buy/eat GMO foods. ]]> 2020-02-28 17:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452121382 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452150948 I think that an issue revolving GMOs could include the ability of genetically modified farming can affect other local farmers in the surrounding area that do not produce GMO crops.]]> 2020-02-28 18:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452150948 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452159278 The first ethical concern would be that it is still in the early stages. Scientists have not studied what effects manipulating DNA can have on humans. Humans that are fighting off certain diseases can be negatively affected if their treatment does not respond because their DNA has been altered. The second ethical concern would be that biotechnology is altering the nutritiousness of food. Some people claim that they no longer understand what is in their food and do not find it safe to eat.]]> 2020-02-28 18:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452159278 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452164487 An ethical concern would be that other farmers do not want GMOs to effect their crops. Another ethical concern would be allergies because people could have a reaction.]]> 2020-02-28 18:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452164487 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452184251 GMO plants can possibly breed with non-GMO plants causing hybrid plants and a destruction of whatever organic markets there are for the specific crop.

Another ethical problem is that it is possible for GMO's to cause cancer. Scientist Stacy Kennedy says there is insufficient evidence to prove that GMO's cause cancer but, lack of evidence does not mean evidence against it.]]> 2020-02-28 19:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452184251 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452187577 The most concerns result from the possibility of cross-pollination of nearby crops of unconsenting farmers. Not just this but allergies could develop or worsen due to the implementation of GMO crops. ]]> 2020-02-28 19:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452187577 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452188556 One ethical concern I believe is very important is the new allergies that may arise. Some people could be deathly allergic to the chemicals put into the GMO crops. 
Another ethical concern is the cross-contamination that may take place. Pollen from GMO farms could reach non-GMO farms and contaminate them. ]]> 2020-02-28 19:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452188556 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452190789 When farmers are using the GMO plants, farmers who are not may get the same effects because of the pollen and how it can spread. Also lots of people refuse to eat and buy animals and plants that are GMO, because we do not know much of the effects long term.]]> 2020-02-28 19:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452190789 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452193122 When it comes to biotechnology, two of the most important concerns are allergies and cross contamination. GMOs could potentially breed with another plant and create a hybrid that would disrupt the environment. People with allergies would also be in danger because there is no way for someone with allergies to now if they are allergic to something in a GMO crop. ]]> 2020-02-28 19:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452193122 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452196195 Some ethical concerns would include GM plants can breed with other plants in the wild causing the gene to spread and cause possible harm to other plants and/or animals. Another is how would the GMOs affect the local wildlife? The gene or genes could cause harm to local wildlife that use that plant for survival.]]> 2020-02-28 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452196195 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452197515 The concerns I think are the most important are cross contamination and allergic reactions. With Cross Contamination, it can contaminate other plants unknowingly and also crossbreed with weeds making the whole idea useless. Scientist will have to continually genetically modify plants over and over as weeds and insects continue to evolve and become resistant. There are also people who may have allergic reactions to certain things inside of the gmo crop.]]> 2020-02-28 19:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452197515 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452197715 The pros of biotechnology are that it makes more sense economically and it more efficient. 
Cons include could be going to far with the genetic modifications and create bigger issues than the ones we are solving.]]> 2020-02-28 19:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452197715 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452198429 There are many pros of biotechnology that outweigh the cons. Most of the cons are ethical concerns and if what is being done is considered "right". Another main con could be potential allergies to any of the introduced proteins in genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops can also be seen as unjust as they could be expensive and would be harder for some farmers to grow, especially if the genetically modified version of the crop is more popular than the unmodified.]]> 2020-02-28 19:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452198429 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452199612 2020-02-28 19:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452199612 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452199864 Concerns that I think are the most important are potential allergies and cross contamination. Some people can have severe allergic reactions to the new gene and cross contamination can have harmful effects to other crops. ]]> 2020-02-28 19:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452199864 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452201320 I think that ethical concerns would mostly lie in tampering with human DNA. We have learned how to rearrange the DNA in plants, and we are getting close to doing the same with humans. Tampering with this might cause unforeseen health problems that ruin the lives of those affected. 
Another ethical aspect that has already presented itself is the antibiotics with animals. This may cause them to grow at a faster rate than expected, and cause them to have trouble moving freely. This is an inhumane way to raise food animals. ]]> 2020-02-28 19:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452201320 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452225638 Some concerns that are important are allergies or potential environment harm. We do not know how plants or people may react to what is being modified. Also,since the foods/plants are modified then people may not want to eat it because they do not know what is in it. It can change the environment around the modified plants and other insects. Insects could possibly die and other plants around could die because they depend on a certain insect. It can cross contaminate other crops around it.]]> 2020-02-28 20:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452225638 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452229810 2020-02-28 20:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452229810 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452278895 Biotechnology can harm a persons health as well as an environment. The introduction of a new gene to a plant could help one person become healthier, and another to have an allergic reaction due to the tampering. Cross contamination could result in crops that were not meant to receive a strand of genes and could potentially be harmful to the environment due to a sudden, and accidental change.]]> 2020-02-28 22:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452278895 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452280432 Biotechnology can negatively affect other crops in the are by contaminating them, They can also create super weeds if not properly kept.

However with these new GMOs, it can spread to other non GMO such as weeds that will make weeds more difficult to deal with.

Cross contamination can disrupt many genes of other plants causing harm to the environment. Some may even have allergies that it can be harmful for one's health. Not know what goes into biotechnology, harm can cause people to have allergic reactions that may or may not be deadly to them. ]]> 2020-02-29 04:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452333594 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452411722 The ethical reasons for which GMO crops can be argued against could be reasons such as they could cause unexpected allergic reactions and unwanted cross contamination to other species of plants. ]]> 2020-02-29 16:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452411722 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452432873 Two ethical issues that come up when using biotechnology are cross contamination and allergic reactions. Having the chance of cross contaminating your crops can be very dangerous for the farmer's production of that certain crop. Allergic reactions can be caused by using biotechnology, which in fact, can potentially take ones life. People around the world should consider this when using biotechnology.]]> 2020-02-29 18:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452432873 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452468459 Ethical concerns that come to mind when dealing with biotechnology and manipulating DNA are the fact that it can have harmful effects on the environment such as contaminating local crops that aren't meant to be affected and also the allergenic affect is has on some people. The process is also not that easily and can get out of control and hand fast. ]]> 2020-02-29 23:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452468459 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452484301 GMO's can create crops of greater abundance but with large abundance may come cross contamination. If a GM crop contaminates a normal crop it can disrupt it's taste or even decrease it's immunity against certain diseases. Allergies are also a large concern with GM crops because for example is someone is buying a banana they believe it to just be a banana but if it is a GM banana with an added chemical to keep it from decaying too quickly that individual may be allergic to that chemical without the notion it is in there.]]> 2020-03-01 01:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452484301 jedwa6958 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452513938 Concerns that have been raised are the spread of transgenes to other organisms like viruses. Transgenes is a gene which is artificially introduced into the genome of another organism. Another concern that is alarming is allergic reactions due to manipulating DNA and can be lethal.]]> 2020-03-01 05:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452513938 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452629504 The first concerns of biotechnology is cross contamination. The genetically modified crops can easily spread and contaminate other crops that are not genetically modified. Allergies are also a major concern when it comes to DNA manipulation. If a strand of DNA is added to a crop, the consumers would not know what was added. This means consumers could have an allergic reaction and not know what caused it. ]]> 2020-03-01 19:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452629504 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452640269 Two ethical concerns of biotechnology is the affect it may have on people's health or on the environment. Biotechnology can affect a person's health; for example allergies, since the crops DNA is being changed the person consuming the crop may not know what was changed and how it may affect them. The usage of biotechnology may also affect the environment; for example if cross contamination were to occur, it would cause harm to the environment.]]> 2020-03-01 20:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452640269 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452646770 There have been several concerns that relate towards environmental effects. The use of Biotech crops could spread the modified crop towards an unintended field. Local wildlife may also be affected due to long term affects that we are not currently aware of.]]> 2020-03-01 20:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452646770 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662555 The first concern I can think of with biotechnology is harming the environment like polluting crops. Another concern would be allergic reactions. It could cause people with allergies to get worse.]]> 2020-03-01 21:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662555 lchav8647 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662861 Two ethical concerns of biotechnology that I think are most important are fear and the fact that genes can jump tp other plants. Fear is an important ethical concern because there are many people who can be allergic or they are just afraid of what biotechnology can cause in the long run. Genes jumping from crops crops is also another ethical concern because genes can genetically modified crops can jump to crops that are not genetically modified which could also possibly damage non genetically modified crops. ]]> 2020-03-01 21:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662861 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662875 The two ethical concerns of biotechnology are cross contamination and allergies. Cross contamination is when the pollen from the GMO crops reach the non GMO crops and contaminates them. This is important because it can introduce genes to the non GMO crops without the farmer knowing. Allergies is an ethic of biotechnology because of the risk that is being taken with new proteins in the crops.]]> 2020-03-01 21:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452662875 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452702648 Two ethnical concerns of biotechnology are cross contamination and allergic reactions. Cross contamination is the process where non-GMO produce is contaminated with GMO seeds, bacteria, or insects. This can causes stress for farmers who choose not to plant GMO crops because this ruins the organic quality of their produce. Allergic reactions are another concern. We do not know much about the long term effects it has on humans, whether major or minor. ]]> 2020-03-02 00:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452702648 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452703381 In the world of genetics and its association with GMO's there has been many controversy concerns on both parties about it. One of these concerns is that from the many farmers that inhabit the U.S, some are concerned with the fact that a neighboring GMO farm will contaminate their own farm with the genetically modified seeds. Another concern is that in the long term we still don't know the affects of eating these GMO crops.]]> 2020-03-02 01:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452703381 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452710245 Two ethical concerns of biotechnology are cross contamination and allergies. Cross contamination is when the pollen from gmo plants goes into non gmo plants. New allergies can arise from gmo plants.]]> 2020-03-02 01:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452710245 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452719668 One ethical concern is cross-contamination. The genetically modified crop can spread to non- genetically modified crops. This can mess up the non-genetically modified crop to grow wrong. Another concern is allergies. When DNA is added to a crop this can add unknown things to the crop that can cause allergic reactions. This can be dangerous for consumers.

Weed receiving the gene if it is able to jump around would make weed resistant to pesticide and herbicide making it awfully difficult to get rid of. The gene bringing in new proteins could cause unknown allergic reactions which is understandably reasonable because it is unknown how severe an allergic reaction may be. ]]> 2020-03-02 02:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452723798 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452726588 Cross contamination can have many health issues with the usage of GMO products. This can lead to genes polluting non-gmo products without the farmer's consent. It is a very dangerous issue, impacting both the producer and consumer. Another ethic issue is fear of the consumer. There is a lot of controversy of GMO products. Many people do not know what is their product. This could cause many health issues to the producer, such as allergic reactions or even something more severe. ]]> 2020-03-02 02:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452726588 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452730341 One ethical concern would be Cross contamination.  Cross contamination occurs when the genes of a GMO plant are spread to another. This could lead to the creation of some very unwanted plants that could be potentially harmful to humans and the environment. Another  concern would be how the other plants and animals are directly affected by the GMO plants.  Let's say for example, over a period of time some pests that were previously affected by a pesticide, became immune, what then?]]> 2020-03-02 02:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452730341 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452733808 Cross contamination should definitely be considered before doing anything. It can cause lots of unknown problems, including things like allergies, and the modifications possibly being spread to other no modified plants. How animals and insects react to these should also be considered. They can become immune to these, and if they are the only crops being used across the country, them being wiped out could cause serious issues. ]]> 2020-03-02 02:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452733808 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452736383 Cross-contamination is a big one because it could cause an unknown number of outcomes like killing other plants and damaging the environment. The other big one to me is the effect on people because it could cause allergic reactions and could cause a new problem that we never thought of like leading to cancer because we have not had a long time to test it.]]> 2020-03-02 02:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452736383 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452751840 Allergies- People may be allergic to some of these chemicals and not find out until they were having an allergic reaction.

This is because pollen from the GMO could reach to a nearby non GMO plant which could introduce a new gene to that plant without the farmers consent. This could end up affecting the plant in a negative way. The second ethical issue concern would be with allergic reactions. This is because a potential new protein could be made from the GMO could cause allergic reactions because that person maybe allergic to that particular protein.]]> 2020-03-02 10:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452848828 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452910673 The first concern with biotechnology is that cross contamination would occur naturally between unchanged and genetically modified crop farms. The second concern would be the medicinal side of a mutated plant because it could accidentally react in people with allergies and weaker immune systems.]]> 2020-03-02 13:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452910673 krodr4503 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452972037 One major concerns is that of cross contamination. There is the concern that a certain modification will be able to transfer to another plant. Once there, it might react negitavely with a modification in the other plant. This could produce new allergens and cause harm to many people. Which leads to the second concern, allergies. People are worried that the modified organisms will bring on new medical concerns that we are not ready for.]]> 2020-03-02 14:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452972037 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452999739 There are two major concerns when it comes to biotechnology that could cause potential harm. The two major issues are cross contamination and allergic reactions. Cross contamination is the process of bacteria or other microorganisms being unintentionally transferred from one substance to another causing harm to that substance. Allergic reactions is also a major concern when it comes to biotechnology. If a strand of DNA was added to a crop, we no longer know what the crop is made of. This could have a potential threat to people who are allergic to some ingredients. ]]> 2020-03-02 15:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/452999739 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453011721 Cross contamination and allergic reactions are two factors that should definitely be considered. Cross contamination could result in various harmful outcomes when it crosses with another plant. Allergic reactions is also another major concern. Many people are concerned that GMO's could have certain chemicals that can cause an allergic reaction. ]]> 2020-03-02 15:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453011721 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453029809 I think of one the biggest concerns that we need to address is the spread to crops that aren't affected by the genetic differences. Should the gene prove to be harmful, getting rid of it after it had spread to the majority of crops would prove difficult. Another concern would be how the gene affected us humans. If it were hostile, there would be no use for it, no matter how much affect it had on yield or pesticide reduction.]]> 2020-03-02 15:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453029809 dcast5292 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453039840 - creating new crops can lead to allergies that people aren't aware of and have a reaction.

Keeping crops year-round can disrupt nature. Some people do not want to eat GMO food because they might have an allergic reaction to the new proteins that are being produced. Also, GMO products can pollinate Non-GMO crops and create new genes. This can happen without farmers consent.]]> 2020-03-02 16:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453044203 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453055211 Two major concerns of biotechnology is the unintended impact on the environment and animals. Sometimes these modified organisms can affect the local ecosystems such as other crops getting that gene when it wasn't suppose to or a certain plant developing a resistance when you don't want it to. Due to plants with genes that naturally deter an animal from eating it, small animals from that area run out of a certain food source.]]> 2020-03-02 16:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453055211 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453064922 Two things that come to mind when talking about concerns of biotechnology include pest and virus resistance and cross contamination. Pest and virus resistance are both huge and can have serious effects on the environment. Cross contamination can also be serious due to the effects it can have when crossing with other plants. ]]> 2020-03-02 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453064922 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453078794 Two of the major concerns that I think of when it comes to biotechnology is the spreading of genes and allergic reactions. The genes could spread to other plants like weeds and the weeds could mutate into a resistant weed that will be hard to get rid of. By genetically modifying plants, people could end up being allergic to it.]]> 2020-03-02 16:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453078794 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453134292 Two things that are most important concerning biotechnology are things like allergies and cross-contamination. Genetically modified plants could lead to people finding out they had allergies they were not aware of and could lead to reactions that could end fatally. With cross-contamination, natural plants and GMO plants can cross leading to things that were previously safe for some people to eat being unsafe for consumption by majorities. ]]> 2020-03-02 18:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453134292 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453156474 Two major concerns of biotechnology are cross-contamination and human allergies. Cross-contamination because it can affect another farmer's crops which costs money to fix, which results in a decrease in profits. And allergies because it directly affects humans, and some allergies can be very serious to human life. ]]> 2020-03-02 18:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453156474 kxion7147 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453163972 Cross-contamination and the idea of interfering with nature are issues of biotechnology that I believe are most important. Cross-contamination can affect the lifestyle and health of people who consume the crops. By consuming those products, it can result in new allergies and potential viruses. Biotechnology also interferes with nature because of the applications towards agriculture. The effects of biotechnology on the environment can impact plant life and animal life. These two ideas are ethical concerns that cause weary opinions towards biotechnology. ]]> 2020-03-02 18:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453163972 xhedr0898 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453183320 Some issues that might arise with the implantation of biotechnology is cross contamination and the simple fact that most of the time we don't know what the consequences of these alternations are. They can lead to allergies or a mutation that can take months or even weeks to figure out. With cross contamination, non-gmo crops can get contaminated by spread of gmo seeds by the wind. ]]> 2020-03-02 19:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453183320 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453201439 Two ethics of biotechnology that I think are most important are possible allergies/diseases and cross contamination. GMOs simply have not been in our diets long enough for us to conclude that they might have negative effects on our health, you never know what could happen. Another concern is cross contamination, which can lead to other farmers selling GMO crops, with a non GMO label! Cross contamination can happen easily and can have several negative effects on other farmers.

Since genetically modified plants contains genes from various plants that can cause human allergic reactions to GM plants to increase. GM plants are easily able to cross contaminate from plants to plants because of the insects and the winds that blows pollen to other plants. ]]> 2020-03-02 22:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453310235 myang6704 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453347295 The two ethics of biotechnology that I think are most important is cross contamination and the effects they could possible have on people when they eat it. Cross contamination can cause non-GMO crops to have some of the genes of GMO crops or it could be the opposite. The possible effects could also be bad for those that it affects when eaten. ]]> 2020-03-03 00:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453347295 klaro2039 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453378541 With biotechnology, scientists are able to produce new organisms that are helpful to society. There are a couple of issues about advancement with genetic engineering. The cost is very expensive and the outcome could potentially be a waste. GM crops are supposed to prevent pests and diseases but there is a risk of cross-contamination between the genes of a GM crop and a non-GM crop. Another issue is that the new crop might not be something that people will want to eat. Health is super important and the idea of GMOs in food is not appealing. ]]> 2020-03-03 02:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453378541 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453396961 With biotechnology, there are many things that scientists can alter to create new ideas and products. With that being said, it can also harm the things we have. With crops, you can cross the genes to make the pests of the crops not eat it but what if the insects get resistant to new crops genes. Cross contamination is a big issue because it could affect crops in a negative way without people even realizing.]]> 2020-03-03 03:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453396961 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453399214 I think the two most important ethics of biotechnology are cross contamination and the allergies of consumers. When dealing with crops, crops are made to be distributed and eaten by consumers. However, it could turn into a big problem if consumers are having allergic reactions to unknown proteins. Also, cross contamination could lead to the same consequences. Not to mention, it could ruin another farmer's entire crop. Therefore, a lot of money rides on the use of the technology, and whether or not it is used properly.]]> 2020-03-03 03:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453399214 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453420946 Madison Canipe yo]]> 2020-03-03 04:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453420946 csett6257 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453453546 To me, the most important ethical concerns brought up from biotechnology are the cross contamination it can bring and the health impact it can have on people. Cross contamination can harm crops being grown by other farmers and can hurt the surrounding environment if it were to get contaminated as well. People with certain allergies or allergic reactions can consume genetically modified crops without knowing it and that can result in the consumer becoming sick or having a serious reaction.]]> 2020-03-03 06:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453453546 bpope1998 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453590381 I think that 2 of the most important ethical concerns are that of the genetic engineering happening where it does not need to happen, nothing, plant nor animal, should have to go through something like that if it does not need to. Another concern is the religious aspect of food, as some religions can only eat specific things.

Another reason is people are less likely to eat a food if they know it is genetically modified. The consumers don't know what is going into their food and marketing has kept them away from the positive side of GMO's.]]> 2020-03-03 13:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/453603147 kmeji3195 https://padlet.com/molly_barlow/uzjrds8deb3d/wish/456040966 I believe the two most important ethical concerns are human allergies and cross contamination. A large amount of people may have allergies, and eat something they might not know has been altered. cross contamination could hurt other crops and the surrounding environment.
