'Brave New World' By Brian Douglas: Article Analysis
Hoyle, Brian Douglas (2012). Drought-Resistant Crops. Gale.
In the article Drought-Resistant Crops, Hoyle, Brian Douglas wrote about genetically engineered crops and benefits such as drought resistant plants, in 2012, for people around the world. A drought can threaten crop growth and production, but scientists have created genetically engineered crops that have the ability to survive a drought. GMO plants such as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, ect. provide crops for people that live in particularly dry areas. Though some plants have the ability to naturally adapt to drought conditions, it is a long process, but genetically modifying the DNA of the crops provides a faster solution. The technology to make GMO crops is not new, it was made in the 1970s - 1980s meaning scientists had much time to work with the technology, for safer use. Though drought resistant crops are still in the development stage, the benefits of better growth when genetically modified still stands.
Drought-Resistant Crops is well researched and gives good facts, and benefits …show more content…
The author addresses the 1932 novel Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, due to the fact that they both discuss similar topics. The idea of “Designer Babies” or genetically modified children is generally liked by the medical community and public. Gale covers some benefits of genetically modifying the dna of children, some are illuminating diseases from occurring in infant; which can also mean that scientists are able to prevent the parents to pass the disease to their children. Though scientist believe that GMO infants is a good idea, some are against it completely and believe there should be no testing of
