Science fiction texts use many different ideas and messages to explore possible futures. These ideas and messages warn the audience about a possible future and make a comment on the present. Gattaca, a movie made in 1997 by director, Andrew Niccol, and Movement, a short story by Nancy Fulda, both use ideas and messages to…

Genetic modification is the action of changing the genetic material (DNA) of an organism using engineering techniques. For thousands of years people have been modifying the genes of plants and animals by introducing new pieces of DNA into other organisms sequences of DNA. This can be done by taking DNA from the same species, a…

In my 20 years of living, I always thought of why God made possible that humans and animals able to communicate with one another and what is the hidden purpose of God? Why humans, plants and animals are comparable in other ways and what is the purpose of existence of one another? The answer was…

Rationale Godfrey (2000) in the Lancet claimed that it is unknown whether the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture affects human health. While the article discussed uncertainties of GM foods, it stated the USA has a broad range of modified nourishment already but lacks case study on the affects for those who digest the…

Food plays an important role in the peoples life because people always need food to eat to get the energy so that they can do the movements, live and work daily. By seeing that food is very important for every life, they try to find modern method, such as genetically modified food, in order to…

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from animals or plants whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified. For example, by the insertion of a gene from another organism, in a fashion that does not occur normally. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology, while the resulting organism is claimed to…
