What are some new biotechnologies and how do they affect us?
As we progress we invent new things to make our lives
better. Common examples of this biotech is Genetically Modified Organisms, Stem
Cell Therapy, Gene Therapy, and advances in using DNA for forensic criminology.
These biotechnologies can potentially improve our lives.
Genetically Modified Organisms are organisms whose genetics
were altered using techniques of genetic engineering. The most common example
of GMOs are Genetically Modified Crops. These new crops could be more
nutritious, resistant to diseases and pests, and more crops. These crops can
help with health and help provide more crops per amount of land.
Stem Cell Therapy is the use of stem cells to treat a
condition or a disease. This therapy can help cure neurodegenerative disorders,
diabetes, heart diseases, and more. This can help cure diseases and improve
quality of life.
Gene Therapy is an experimental technique using genes to
treat diseases. This technique allows doctors to insert genes into a patient to
treat a disorder or disease. The most common diseases it treats are Immune
Deficiency, Hemophilia, Cancer, and Neurodegenerative Diseases. The treatment
of these can improve living conditions and can potentially cure more diseases.
As we have had advances in criminology, mostly do to the use
of DNA testing, more criminals have been found and more innocent people
released. DNA has begun to play a major role in criminology and in the future
crime rates should go down due to more advanced methods of catching criminals.
All of these new biotechnologies are improving the world we
live in today. In the future we will have advanced opportunities, health
benefits, and less crime. Our lives will benefit incredibly due to these
technologies.
