Bioethics - Gmos
GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms, and they are used in daily society to get desired traits from foods, break down pesticides so they don't harm the food, and to make foods more resistant to poison.
One thing I found interesting:
I liked seeing how many foods are genetically modified and how much we eat them without knowing. Another thing I found interesting was not from my groups presentation, but the group that did cloning. I thought that people were able to make actually clones of themselves if they were born with a bad heart and may need a new one in there lifetime and won't have to wait on the organ transplant list.
What thing I want to know more about:
I would like to know more about what part of the DNA there take out to put the GMOs in. I would also like to know more about what makes a food organic, and are organic foods still aloud to contain GMOs.
Collaboration:
My group worked well together. We each contributed on the slides and the talking for our presentation. In my opinion we gave a good presentation and it was finished on time. One thing we could work on was after the presentation, when the audience asked us questions. I think we didn't fully understand the topic and some of us got confused. In the end, we completed our presentation on time and presented well.
