Gene technology is no exception.
For the last few decades, scientists have been working on genes, the basic building blocks, to find out what might be possible for the human race and the essential materials for its existence. Here we give a few examples of the two sides of gene technology, not an exhaustive list. Much has been said about possible risks of gene technology, but there is little actual evidence so far from scientific studies. Many farmers in the US and Australia now grow transgenic cotton varieties that carry inbuilt protection against major pests like Helicoverpa caterpillars. As a result Australian cotton farmers have been able to reduce their use of synthetic pesticides by 50 per cent.
