Question

What are some safety and ethical concerns raised by the use of recombinant DNA technology? What are some dangers of introducing genetically engineered organisms into the environment?

Answer 1

Recombinant DNA Technology is the genetic recombination (process like cloning ) by uniting the genetic particles from different cells and arranging the sequence which is not present in the target organism . By The recombinant DNA technology which enables the recombination or the insertion of gene from a organism to another .DNA in the form of segments are of recombinated either by natural method or by the laboratory methods which transform to a new genetic sequenced DNA called as the recombinant DNA . The Three different methods for the recombination of DNA are of Non - Bacterial , Phage insertion and the transformation .   The DNA extracted by using some special enzymes called ligase

we have to discuss the ethical concerns raised by the recombinant DNA Technology Method .so the Recombinant DNA technology can help in creating new organism by the combination of different organism and also changing the genetic sequence of existing organism or altering the genetic code to create or correction of features of organisms .Along with the benefits of these transformation a double side is covering some issues which affect the ethics of human nature .The humans starts to believe that The recombinant DNA technology are method against the law of nature also including their religious side by stating that the shape given by the god can't be altered by human activity .These protest against the technology with their ethics the scientist during the 1975 they considered the danger hiding behind this technology And a moratorium on the Research was initiated for the test was not easy .The scientist can't guarantee the controls over the humans by the basic building block of the life . some people thought that scientist will involve and help depending the money by creating unwanted creatures which my effect the normal human life .and The people worried about the genetic charecters may stolen for creating their copies which complicates their life .but the history shows that in 1951 a women's Gene used in some application without their permission . peoples started worry about the food product altered by this technology endanger their lives .these are the general ethical related thoughts concerned and raised by the peoples againtst the recombinant DNA technology.

The dangers of the genetically engineering organism with our environment .

-the competition of the newly species introduced by the genetic engineering with the existing speices

-the difficulty in selecting the non target and target organism and it's pressure .

-The effect of changes of the features of a species changes the impact of the ecosystem.

-once they are introduced ,It's complete elimination is risky

-The recombinant genes transfer horizantaly to other Microroganism .

-it may effect or endanger the health of other species living in the ecosystem .

-Their effect can't predicted

-Ethical issues.

control and it's ,management is not easy.
