Plant Engineers Sow Debate

Posted: Published on May 2nd, 2014

Today virtually everything we eat is produced from seeds that have been genetically altered in some way. New methods of plant tinkering have emerged over the generations and so, too, have the fears Today virtually everything we eat is produced from seeds that have been genetically altered in one way or another. Credit: Thinkstock Editor's note: The following is the introduction to the May 2014 issue of Scientific American Classics: The Birth of the Great GMO Debate. The idea of intentionally infecting a plant with a bacterium might seem strange. Just three decades ago, however, researchers discovered that they could use this infection to deliver new and potentially useful genes into crops. What has long appeared to be simply the agent of a bothersome plant disease is likely to become a major tool for the genetic manipulation of plants: for putting new genes into plants and thereby giving rise to new varieties with desired traits, announced acclaimed scientist Mary-Dell Chilton in 1983 in a pioneering article, one of many in this collection from the archives of Scientific American. Today genes introduced this way are yielding some of the most exciting new approaches to food securityas well as a hearty amount … Continue reading →

In the debate, Seth Drayer argued from the science of embryology that the pre-born child is biologically a member of the human family, only distinct from born persons in the areas of size, level of development, and degree of dependency. He argued that none of these distinctions disqualify someone from human rights. For example, a toddler is much smaller, less developed, and significantly more dependent on others for survival than the average college student. Yet this does not make them less valuable. In contrast, Professor Webbs main argument was the shocking assertion that universal human rights do not exist, and therefore only the mothers preference matters. He even went so far as to argue that sex trafficking does not violate human rights, and is justifiable in some cultures. Ruble argued against Professor Webbs assertion that the pre-born child is not a conscious being. I would argue whether someone … Continue reading →
