Tug of War opinion If we could change animals' and plants' DNA to help them survive better in changing places, like getting hotter or colder, should we do it, or let nature figure it out? What do you think and why? by Andrio Tabuzo

Crystal Auger Room 14

2024-03-06 22:45:16 UTC

I think we should change because there is an increasing amount of global warming and animals that live in the arctic should be able to adapt.

Abbie Lyons R14

2024-03-06 22:47:53 UTC

i'm leaning towards no because it could ruin the culprits DNA, but it could also improve on the original.

Parsa R15

2024-03-06 22:48:39 UTC

Yes, but only for food. The Government should keep a safe place like an Island to have a area 51 kind of place so nothing else gets affected.

Hannah M - R13

2024-03-06 22:48:47 UTC

Yes, I think changing animals and plants DNA would help the environment with many things, but overdoing it would be a major problem. Plants producing more food would be extremely helpful, but changing animals' DNA might be a little weird.

Lulu-rm 17

2024-03-06 22:48:51 UTC

I think it would be better if they were changed because lots of animals are going extinct and we need to help them.

max room 14

2024-03-06 22:48:59 UTC

I think we should change the koala because lots of is home is geting burned from the heat so I think they should ^{move to a different place to live}

Daniel Xing R15

2024-03-06 22:49:43 UTC

I'm not sure we should, we shouldn't. I believe that changing an animal might mean a sudden fall of population for their prey, it might mess up the whole ecosystem.

Andrew Lee Rm 15

2024-03-06 22:49:45 UTC

Yes, because it could help the food crisis around the world and save many peoples lives

Maddison Law RM 13

2024-03-06 22:49:50 UTC

no, nature can figure it out because its to much of a risk, if we did this to all the animals they could die?

Emma R17

2024-03-06 22:49:58 UTC

I think they should because humans made globe warming so we should help them so they don't go extinct.

Ciro R14

2024-03-06 22:50:39 UTC

i think that we should change an animal should we change cows to be thinner.

Henry Rm15

2024-03-06 22:50:42 UTC

i think yes because of the global food shortage aditionally this shouldent be disclosed info to remove confusions but it defenatly needs to be monitored and in an enclosed space

Jayden Rm15

2024-03-06 22:50:45 UTC

Yes, because it could save many animals and people, and more food.

Sophia OH Rm 14

2024-03-06 22:50:45 UTC

I disagree with this idea because, even though it would make a good impact, taking apart different animals DNA might make them go extinct. It could also make bad chemicals.

Luke R15

2024-03-06 22:50:53 UTC

I think possibly because if we do then we could make lots of really good things but it also might destroy the whole ecosystem

Koby Farmilo room 15

2024-03-06 22:51:01 UTC

yes I would like it to change only for the food because yeah

Emily Heath Room 14

2024-03-06 22:51:17 UTC

I'm going more towards no because it could ruin their DNA.

Eva Zhu R17

2024-03-06 22:51:17 UTC

I think we should change because of the global warning

Gina Kim RM14

2024-03-06 22:51:32 UTC

No, i do not think that we should change /modify the DNA of plants and animals because it might hold a bacteria that might become deadly and might change flavour (to be yucky). We can use a alternative or try to find a solution that helps them keep healthy.

Hayley Chan room 14

2024-03-06 22:51:42 UTC

I think that changing animals and plants' DNA would be good because we can get more food and so that the animals can adapt to a new habitat.

Danny Alizade

2024-03-06 23:26:59 UTC

I think we should change creatures genetics, as nature barely ever fixes these problems, like during mass extinctions why didn't animals or plants just adapt to fit the environment? Because it doesn't happen fast enough or well enough. However, it may be risky but humans could do it with less risk. Humans would be way more consistent. Nature almost never fixes these problems, and humans can.

Bella Richards R16

2024-03-06 23:28:20 UTC

I say no because it can ruin their DNA and make it harder to live

Annaliese Lowe R15

2024-03-06 23:28:23 UTC

Yes because I think that we can save a lot of animals and can gain a lot of food for other people. The food prices will also go down which means a lot more people can afford food.

Indy Hendricks RM 15

2024-03-06 23:28:40 UTC

No because nature should be able to control what it created, because the animals can adapt to their habitats and biomes already. They can survive using there genetic modification. They have a natural selection that they should stick to. No one should modify nature.

Ethan Rm17

2024-03-06 23:29:08 UTC

I think yes because since the world is having a food shortage

Andy zhu

2024-03-06 23:29:11 UTC

I think letting animals adapt it self is a better idea because what if you put the different DNA it could go worst

Hugh McLelland R13

2024-03-06 23:29:11 UTC

No,It could mess up biomes, ex: destroy natural resources, Mess up the native animals food,and more. We could mess up the animals DNA,If we wanted a pure animal or plant,We could not because we messed up their DNA. Animals may also not be able to survive on their own.Animals will find it harder to adapt and plants will find it harder to get nutrients from DNA ridden and modified ground.Natural selection will get ruined if we purposefully change and kill things we don't like,So no,I do not think we should participate in genetic modification

Oliver Sun RM14

2024-03-06 23:29:18 UTC

I think that changing animals and plants DNA would be bad because, even thought that animals would survive better, i think its better to let nature take its on course since we don't know what will happen if that happens. And normally when an animals habitat is gone, they will adapt.

Victoria R15

1372059 — 2024-03-06 23:29:25 UTC

No because it could mess up multiple things in the environment. if it fails we might accidentally kill off all the animals of that species, and if it works there could be an overpopulation of that animal, ruining the food chain.

Zacky ou room14

2024-03-06 23:29:30 UTC

I think changing DNA of plants will have benefit to use to have more food, changing animals DNA is helpful for animals adapt and survive

Yeonwoo Kim rm14

2024-03-06 23:29:38 UTC

I think we don't need to change. Because if there was no human, the nature will continue long, but there is human and we break nature early so I think we need to stop breaking now.

Josh Lee Room 14

2024-03-06 23:29:48 UTC

No because changing animals DNA is bad because if you eat a cow,the DNA will go inside of your body but does nothing

Olivia RM 15

2024-03-06 23:30:14 UTC

No, because I think if we change anything about nature it could end up not working an affecting nature more.

Flo wild RM17

2024-03-06 23:30:28 UTC

I think we should change because of global warming so where the polar bears live are melting and penguins too.

George and Cole R17

2024-03-06 23:30:33 UTC

I agree because the DNA wont change allot and we need to get more food supplies

Paige rm16

2024-03-06 23:30:35 UTC

Yes because it might help animals problems and help them adapt and survive to the new climate

No because it could ruin there biome and DNA.

Annalise rm17

2024-03-06 23:30:36 UTC

I think we should leave it to nature because we could mess up there biomes and DNA.

Suwon Kim rm 14

2024-03-06 23:30:50 UTC

I think we should leave it to nature because we could accidentally mess up the environment and make it extinct.

Madeline Smith RM14

2024-03-06 23:30:53 UTC

No,

I don't think we should Change / modify The DNA of plants or animals because it could ruin the animals or it could make the meat gross of we eat it and it could ruin there biome or make them extinct..

Sofia Bartley Room 14

2024-03-06 23:30:59 UTC

I think it is a good idea,

Because that we could save lots of animals

Jordan Zhang Room 16

2024-03-06 23:31:16 UTC

I am strongly against this as this could ruin their DNA as well as not being able to breed and maybe go extinct. I also don't think it is important we do that right now and should be done in the future.

Matt McDowall R16

2024-03-06 23:33:05 UTC

Yes, but not yet, i think yes but in the future when we have more knowledge around this subject.

Cece R17

cecem3188 — 2024-03-06 23:33:14 UTC

I think we should because we already ruined their chances and we should do as much as we can to help them survive.

Aleana Xing Room17

2024-03-06 23:36:27 UTC

Yes,because it will have more panda in China.And also no because there will be not enough bamboo to eat.

Ella Shan Room 15

2024-03-06 23:37:06 UTC

Yes, because I think we should change it because it can help more animals and plants to survive.

Amy Li

2024-03-06 23:37:36 UTC

I think we should change the because the animal has a longer life span. We will have more food and if we only change on ethe genetic will pass down.

Ashley R13

2024-03-06 23:40:27 UTC

No, I think that nature can figure it out because it is to much of a risk maybe one some day they can adapt to the biome around them.

Anli RM16

2024-03-06 23:40:33 UTC

我不想换，因为换它不一定还能活着，如果不换，它说不定还能继续活着。

No,it might not survive and if we do not change it it might still live

Miranda RM 16

2024-03-12 01:12:31 UTC

I think we should change the DNA of organisms because then they can survive better but on the other hand i might kill more organisms than help them.

Wynn R13

2024-03-12 01:12:37 UTC

Yes, I think we should modify organisms' DNA so that they can adapt to better conditions if needed. Natural selection will take too long and animals could die by then. That is why I choose Genetic Modification by humans.

leo R17

1334515_2 — 2024-03-12 01:12:54 UTC

Yes because if we mix their DNA it can make organisms have a longer life span and help them to adapt to survive in the wild

Callum RM 15

2024-03-12 01:14:17 UTC

No,

If we change plants or animals we may make a monster and destroy the ecosystems. Who's to say nothing will go wrong? People could make a adaption with a virus and it spreads to near by crops and destroys supermarkets, people will die from the virus or starvation. Plus lot's of other bad stuff may happen if we genetically modify plants and animals.

Tyler Shen R13

2024-03-12 01:14:51 UTC

yes because organisms will die and we want them to survive But at the same time if we change them, there DNA will no longer be normal and humans have to find them and take them to a new place and help them adapt.

Will R13

2024-03-12 01:15:08 UTC

I don't think we should do it because animals might mutate

it could be good for the survival of the organism and the survival of human to modify there DNA. we could also do natural selection to get more food. But it might be harder for animal without genetic modification to survive

Sophie Rm 15

I don't know because I would be sad if Manta rays didn't survive but I don't would to ruin Manta rays adapt skill so I am mid

James 17

2024-03-12 01:16:07 UTC

we should to help the organisms adapt

Indy rm 17

2024-03-12 01:16:48 UTC

yes, I think that we should modify animals and plants DNA because plants could actually move so they could stop yucky chemicals getting in their system, Animals could be able to protect them selfs better and hunt better, so all of this could be the best scientific discovery.

Shyla Antonie Rm16

2024-03-12 01:19:36 UTC

We should try to help them because lot of plants and animals could die because

of the climates changes.

Isabella - Rm 17 :3

2024-03-12 01:21:32 UTC

I Think That We Shouldn't Change Anything We Should Leave It Up To Nature To Figure Out, Because We Already Have Ruined Their Chances At Surviving The Earth Because Of Pollution. Unless They Actually Somehow Adapt to all the litter,oil, and global warming, then they have a chance at surviving, otherwise they have no chance, plus, if we did change their D.N.A, Which could cause them to possibly mutate and manage to

become somewhat unstoppable for man-kind and eventually the earth will be corrupt. Meaning man-kind would no longer exist.

Vlad Ivanov

2024-03-12 01:23:04 UTC

Animals have organisms to survive, so they adapt because they go through a lot and if they don't change the will die, and some animals have problems with their DNA like giraffes some are really short and they die.

Katherine R15

2024-03-12 01:34:13 UTC

Maybe? Because we should let the animals

and us humans adapt to this to survive this. But some organisms might die

out to quickly but modify people to do this is a little to hash. But if we make nature do it's things . It might take many years to do this

but also if we make it do natural selection it might make a lot of things die out

RM 16 Ayrton :)

2024-03-12 01:45:43 UTC

I think they should let nature figure it out themselves

because, its like going back in time if you change one

thing everything could change so if you risk changing

it you could put loads of animals at risk such as

survival,adaptions,even DNA, natural selection is also

important like how you look you might have brown eyes

straight hair tan skin, also you might be good at netball

your favourite sport might be rugby also your mood

as well you could be nice funny, so yeah that's how natural selection

works how your parents made you and you learn some stuff on the way.
