    Desperate pleas for richer, better-off countries to utilize genetic engineering in diminishing famines are a result of thousands losing their lives daily and millions on the verge of starvation. By revising the genetic make-up of plant strains, biotechnology will be able notably lessen world hunger. Crops can be engineered to resist diseases, resulting in the quantity of yield succumbing to disease to decrease. In another case, cold-resistant crops are able to benefit countries enduring from winter the whole year round. (Union of Concerned Scientists…

    Proponents and opponents of biotechnology being a distraction is argued by Frances Moore Lappe. Multiple argumentative points are presented by Lappe on what’s the right issue to focus on. The first point Lappe argues is the amount of food we have. Lappe goes on to say, “They were telling us that we had reached the Earth’s limits to feed ourselves, but in fact there was more than enough food for us all” (249). In other words, “they” were telling us that there is less food to eat than Lappe believes we have. It is more or less true that hunger is the result of economic givens that we’ve created. The second point Lappe made is about getting what we put out. Lappe’s point was made was she says, “Thirty years ago, one-third of the world’s grain…

    The article speaks of the trend in the scientific research, which is worrisome due to decline in the quality of research. Rising competition among scientists has led to a culture of “Publish or Perish”, which forces them to work on topics that are more appealing to people irrespective of their significance. They compromise on the quality of research by manipulating data or hiding unfavorable data. There are serious questions raised regarding the error spotting ability of scientists as verification of experiments is being ignored. Also, the attempt to challenge an experiment is not encouraged.…
