YOUR VOICE

It was a nice article (genetic engineering) but one thing, which I want to add, is something about guts and courage to take risk. We are 21st century people so we should have some guts to use new technology and if it has some problem then try to eliminate that problem rather than blaming the whole technology.

In the article, (genetic engineering) I read about pros and cons of development in field of genetic engineering. But there are still some doubts in my mind about genetic engineering or biotechnology.

Biotechnology can be of two types conventional and non-conventional. Example of conventional is as simple as making curd, making yeast etc. This never was and never is threat to existence of human kind and ecology. But I am seriously afraid of non-conventional mode of biotechnology. When scientists change the genetic code or replace the DNA in an organism with another organism. If a little mistake happens, then it will shake the balance of ecology.

In genetically modified food product, there exist toxin and allergin, which grows on its own. Moreover, multinational companies hide these facts from the customers. Any genetically modified food product poses mountainsome task for consumers to test whether it is health friendly or not.

Another point is genetic pollution, due to pesticides and weedicides; we can ruin the fertility of our topsoil. And if it occurs in Switzerland it will disturb the balance in Kashmir too.

I think scientists can minimize human error but can’t eliminate it, nature is nature, its perfect, before harnessing her we must be careful.
