Resistant To Devastating Disease: Article Analysis
In this essay I’m going to be writing about the article; Scientists Make Mutant Cows that are Resistant to Devastating Disease. And the article itself was about a disease that’s killing cows. And how scientist are going to try to fix it. Which sounds pretty interesting right? Let’s dive in.
Unless they have plans for when this doesn’t work how do they know a disease won’t form overtime? Another downside to mutating is that what if it creates another disease that’s even worse than tuberculosis or any other sickness that affects cows? I’m pretty sure there’d be more cures for tuberculosis than any new disease that comes out of the mutation. And just in case you were asking “but if these are being tested for safety shouldn’t everything be fine?” I would say yes, but from what the FDA lets McDonald’s put In their food(It’s pretty much already mutated) and the McDonald’s ingredients I’ve been able to even read, the cows being “tested” for safety” might not be a good thing. Also since this Cas9 enzyme can cause ‘unexpected changes’ what other unexpected changes will it make? Maybe it could unexpectantly change something that can’t be changed back? What if it makes the milk undrinkable? What if it makes the meat inedible? But I guess if their testing this kind of stuff they’ll be prepared for anything bad that happens. If tuberculosis can be much more easily treated than the …show more content…
So let’s put it something like this, tuberculosis can affect both people and cows. It can be treated, which means you need tuberculosis-resistant medicine. As you can see I just explained the whole superbug thing, so would that mean the TB-resistant drugs can spread more of the superbug? So after reading that, you’re probably thinking “How are we ever going to find a cure to anything if these microorganisms are getting smarter?” My answer to that would be; be smarter than the
