The benefits of transgenic species outweigh the ethical considerations.
A variety of transgenic species are flourishing and being sold to us as benefits of mankind, it is changing our food and our natural world. Companies released transgenic species without knowing the long term impact on the environment, which is really dangerous. Although there are benefits, we should be aware of the harm of the transgenic species, this leads me to refute this statement.
So what is transgenic? It is an organism (plant, animal, etc.) is transgenic if some of its genes come from a different species, they could have been inserted into its germplasm, through genetic engineering, or the organism could be the clone, or offspring, of a genetically engineered organism. We can find transgenic species easily, for example, transgenic pigs developed in Adelaide containing human gene to regulate growth and keep meat lean, salmon with an inserted flounder genes to tolerate cold better, cotton containing genes from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) for insect resistance. .
The idea that there were factors controlling an organism's characteristics, and that these factors were inherited in a predictable way, was first discovered by Gregor Mendel, in 1900, his factors were given the name "genes" which carried on chromosomes. In 1952, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA. They realised that the DNA's sequence of bases, and its ability to replicate, were the means by which genes stored information and this information could be inherited. Watson and Crick's discovery started the research that began to sequence the genetic code, showed how genes work, and revealed that all living things use the same basic DNA code, ti became clear that because genes are chemically the same and are read in the same way in all species, genes of different individuals and organisms were potentially interchangeable.
