Understanding Genetic Engineering
The technology with profound power over life
Through the manipulation of an organism's DNA, genetic engineering holds the potential to address some of humanity's greatest challenges from curing genetic diseases to alleviating world hunger. However, as this technology continues to advance, we must confront the ethical implications of altering the genetic material of living organisms.
Shaping the Future with Responsible Science
Monsanto: A Lesson in Unchecked Innovation
Monsanto's development of glyphosate-based herbicides like 'Roundup' has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Their aggressive corporate practices and lack of thorough research into the long-term effects of these products serve as a stark reminder of the risks when innovation outpaces accountability. The company faced a major lawsuit, with thousands claiming exposure to Roundup contributed to cancer, underscoring the human cost of inadequate safety measures.
