order to maintain the ethical and biological homeostasis of society. If the government were to outlaw genetic engineering‚ it would only become underground. Results such as an outbreak of anomalies throughout Homo sapiens would cause an uproar in bioscience and humanity itself. When researches and studies become banned‚ they usually lead to patient deaths and failed research. For example‚ when abortions weren’t tolerated by law‚ they were often back-alley abortions which led to many women dead‚ mutated/deformed/

There are currently 1.4 million described species on earth‚ but estimates of as many as 5 to 50 million total species have been projected to exist (Becher‚ 1998‚ 60). Tropical entomologist Terry Erwin’s research supports that there may be as many as 30 million insect species alone in the tropical rainforests (Shiva et al‚ 1991‚ 14). One of the true challenges to biodiversity is that there are so many species that we may be obliterating that we are not even aware exist yet. We are destroying species
