For generations the technique of genetically modifying organisms has been applied to a variety of areas including medicine, human, animal and plant DNA. The health of humans can be influenced by multiple causes that can range from acquired pathogens to genetics. Transgenic organisms offer a positive outcome for human health in the rising area of technology and combination of science.
Recombinant DNA technology is used to exchange genes through different species in the genomes. (Science-students, 2015) The use of biotechnology towards the use of genetics has an impact on the patient carrying the genes on. To manipulate the genes and possibly eradicate a strand or section, by editing the DNA where the mutation has effected would be to conquer the disease by hopefully cutting it from the system or adding new genes to counteract and therefore the offspring will create more positive health outcomes.
Future developments involving plants to grow medicine inside the edible parts that could therefore breed a new variety of food consumption are worldwide benefits in health while providing nutrition for the third world countries. (Bessen, 2016), (science-students, 2015). Transgenic animals have been a debate that is still in the working. To have biopharmaceuticals in cows as example that would be able to produce insulin and human growth hormone (2012, Kenrick Vezina) (Bio, 2018). Otherwise as an alternative to waiting for the animals to mature, plants could be used to produce the pharmaceuticals that could be in dire need (Fraley, 2018).
“You drive a hybrid car because you want the most efficient vehicle you can have. So why wouldn’t you want the most efficient agriculture you can have?” Alison Van Eenennaam stated this in an article stating that transgenic animals are the superior of the choice as they would offer the most to the community. Combining DNA doesn’t have to mean different animals, but can mean that the animal has enhanced proteins as such, to have so much medicine would enable the medicine to be sold cheaper allowing a diversity of customers (Savulescu, 2015).Scientists proclaim the animal pharmaceuticals are the way to go, this statement follows emphasises the health benefits that will follow -“GE animals can also contribute to improving the environment by consuming fewer resources and producing less waste. In addition, genetic engineering offers tremendous benefits to the animals themselves by imparting disease resistance traits and enhancing their overall health and well-being.” To put enhancements into our bodies is both an ethical and physical problem. What if the human body becomes allergic to the foreign DNA that has been effective to generations of virus survivors? To eat animals that have been manipulated could forever change the look and design of animals as the stronger and more resistant animals that have immunity will die out.
By introducing anti-virus crop for our benefit, the environment may suffer and kill natural resistant and diversity will decrease. Our health may be in jeopardy in the long run by playing “god”. (World, Published: 2017-12-20 (Revised/Updated 2018-03-15)) “GM microbes, plants, and animals also revolutionised the production of complex pharmaceuticals by enabling the generation of safer and cheaper vaccines and therapeutics “states the professor in the department of human genetics and postdoctoral studies in biology (Diaz, 2018). Cheaper will create a pathway for the people who can’t afford expensive medicines, but if these medicines are in fact a spreading of next year’s resistant disease then this “cure” has just sentenced the sick to their death bed.By editing the DNA of humans and carrying on the dominant gene of the new modified agent could lead to potential new issues or viruses that could be equivalent to superbugs. But not to be able to go back should be to leave the sickness and suffering in the past. Transgenic organisms would be similar process if not derived from the process of a CRISPR like technology. Finding the pacific gene with CAS9 and then cutting out the gene or in this case inserting the new gene.
The purpose would be similar to the spliceosome technique getting rid of the bad DNA-introns so you are only left with the exons that will create a perfect RNA strand that will spread(in genomes). New research is being conducted that has found that “nearly 99% of the transcriptional variety produced in human cells has no apparent function” (GEN, 2018). With scientists distinguishing between protein coding DNA and non-coding DNA they are narrowing down the down the area of finding the base of diseases. Using transgenic agents scientists could manipulate and create more coding DNA and have every nucleotide is creating proteins. (GEN, 2018)Various vaccines are being practiced as to protect our immune system so to inject the antigen into the patient and when introduced to the disease or virus the antigen would initiate and immunity kick in.
Factors including age, nutrition and genetics can be influencers to disease. By having access to different genes and food that could provide better supplements could impact majorly on human health and would improve life quality (Mrs. McComas, NA). Having the future offspring being transgenesis would create immunity for generations unless the result of modifying DNA causes side affects more dangerous than the infectious diseases we have today.
