small percentage of the whole. In 1998 Harvard Medical School released a study (as cited by Larsen‚ 1998‚ ¶ 1) showing evidence that a product known as Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST) increased the chances of humans developing cancer. Bovine Somatotropin is a hormone produced by cattle which is also known as Bovine Growth Hormone. The Recombinant status means it was synthetically produced using recombinant DNA technology. The synthetic chemical is injected into cows to stimulate milk

Genetic Modification Genetic modification is the same as genetic engineering and genetic manipulation‚ which is the use of modern technology to change or alter the genetic code of an organism. Genetic modification includes using genes from one organism and inserting them into another‚ however‚ genetic modification can also be altering the original gene of the organism without changing the genetic codes. Therefore a (GMO) Genetically Modified Organism is one whose genes were altered. Genetic modification

TRANSGENIC SPECIES SPEECH Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. Today‚ the topic for our debate is on whether “the benefits of transgenic species outweigh the ethical considerations.” We‚ the negative team‚ believe that this statement is false. The first affirmative speaker has tried to tell you that transgenic plant species are a revolutionary new way to produce crops with dramatically increasing yields and as a result‚ this will increase the farmlands’ productivity. However‚ this is

The Human Growth Hormone and Its Effects on Our Bodies as We Age In this paper‚ I will explain what the human growth hormone is; its effects on our bodies as we age. Also‚ show the benefits received by following a prescribed treatment plant from a qualified physician. The results are amazing‚ as you will see; this has prompted more research into the benefits of hormone replacement therapy as we age.
