Genetic Research Is A Technological Advance That Can Benefit The Human Race.
I think that understanding the details of the body's genetics is a powerful tool and the scientists should not be condemned for using it. It can and will save hundreds of thousands of lives.

Yes, I do support the motion. Basically, what I know of genetic research is figuring out ways how to alter genes for a good purpose. Examples such as crop harvesting.
Due to genetic research, we could have plenty supply of resource basically because we have the capability to clone a certain something over and over again.

I believe that genetics are a technological advancement for the world because they can help in so many ways. Crops can be altered so that they can grow in harsh weather conditions and therefore in third world countries. A new form of cloning which is being tested has proved successful and hopefully will allow doctors to take skin samples from a patient, reprogram them to create stem cells and then they can form over 300 different types of tissue. This can be used to flash clone a liver or other organ and has no chance of rejection because it already affectively the persons own organ. They're developing something where you can regrow back body parts. A man had his finger chopped of by an aeroplane propeller. He dipped his finger in some powder and over a period of time his finger refrew back perfectly, the exact length it was before and complete with fingernail. NOW SOMEONE SAY THAT GENETICS IS IMMORAL!

Yes it can but I do not believe that life and genes should be patented and used as intellectual property by big pharmaceuticals.

Yes it is! It help the founding and help support the findings of the different things that can be passed down by genetics..

Anything living in this world is now ready to take the benefits of advanced medical technology which is solely dependent on latest genetic research. This is the most welcome feature to entire living universe as it helps in many ways. Likewise, it helps the human race by finding the unknown and incurable diseases that is quite impossible to find by normal observations. The most life threatening and deadly diseases can be found and thus cured in a very well manner. Scientists are doing the genetic researches to help the entire humanity as well as the plants’ life. It is also very much helpful to discover the unknown facts of lives that still exist on earth. Thus it can be said that this blessing of science is now all set to accelerate the human race to a long way.

Yes as long as the research does not against moral rules.

I believe that genetic research is something that can benefit the human race. Scientists have learned a lot of things from the genetic make of many different species. Many cures to diseases and the secrets of life have been discovered through genetic research. Therefore, I believe that it could benefit the human race because through genetic research, we have been able to find cures and answers to many of the most dangerous and life threatening diseases. Scientist should continue to do genetic research. This research should be done on animals and humans alike. Not only does it benefit the human race, it also benefits the plant and animal worlds as well.

No. Because seeds and other beings are no longer trading genetic content by conventional means and building immunities on their own. Making them mass produced genetic material. If you have a genetic operation introduced to masses, the one fault is that all will be susceptible to one disease. But if we keep the DNA codes mangled and mixed, that helps in defense.

Fields planted with Monsanto's genetically modified seeds are killing bee colonies worldwide.

If there are no bees, there is no pollination, which means all plants will die, ergo NO OXYGEN. All life will die because Monsanto wants to make a buck.

Research into human diseases via genetic experimentation is laudable, and will undoubtedly save lives. But at what cost?

Do we as a society really believe that scientists can be trusted? Not so long ago they were telling us radiation was good for us, and that there was no link between lung cancer and smoking cigarettes.

I fear that by going down this road with genetics we are in very real danger of opening up a Pandora box. With scientists continually wishing to push the envelope, how long will it be before someone testing the boundaries of legislation oversteps the mark and gets the human race into a predicament we cannot control? Not long is the short answer.

 You have a point. Many scientists had to eat words and have hurt the general public etc. I ain't getting a flu vac.
