Professor
“This week, we have explored the topic of genetic engineering and its implications for health and agriculture. Some argue that it has the potential to solve pressing issues like food shortages and disease, while others express ethical concerns about modifying living organisms. What is your perspective on genetic engineering?”
Student A
Vahid
“I have mixed feelings about genetic engineering. While it can help address food shortages and improve crops, I don’t fully trust drug companies and the motives behind genetic modifications. However, I recognize that selective breeding in agriculture has been practiced for centuries, leading to beneficial changes, such as how bananas have evolved from having seeds to being seedless.”
Student B
Angel
“I believe that genetic engineering can be a powerful tool for improving health and food security. The potential benefits, such as enhanced disease resistance and improved nutritional content, outweigh the ethical concerns. We should embrace these advancements while ensuring proper regulations are in place.”
