Part #1
Biotechnology has shown a promising future to humankind, though it has been very controversial and always been linked to ethical issues, but the impacts of its application in daily life have delivered certain significant results that led to re-consider the biotechnology as a valuable option. Several examples of biotechnology that have improved our lives include transgenic crops, biomedicines and bioengineered vaccines, trans-fat free oils etc (Halpin, 2005). Biotechnological implementations in medicinal science have revolutionized the concept of medicine that helped in revealing the hidden secrets under the genomic pool and produced the treatment options for many genetic diseases that were incurable and lethal earlier. Genetically modified rice or Golden rice is the most popular example of biotechnology that has touched the millions of lives on the daily basis and the enhanced content of Vitamin A in this rice helps in fighting vitamin deficiency related problems ("Genetically Modified Rice", 2016). The only concern related to these applications is a possibility that gene substitution can cause any anomaly that may result in the long-term impacts on health.
Part #2
Cloned animals show lots of variations in comparison to naturally conceived animals. Moreover, it has been confirmed that eating cloned animals may cause various health related issues such high blood pressure, and pulmonary diseases instead of healthy donor animals. This is a major issue of concern that may impact the eating choices for a cloned animal.
In my view eating a cloned animal means eating an artificial animal. Because it has been proved that a cloned animal can not be replaced by a real animal. The nutrient values, as well as health-related effects of cloned animals, differ from natural animals. Food cloning has helped to preserve the natural resources and also helped many people finding appropriate food, but most of the people think that it is weird to have cloned animals. Cloned plants have become popular and older idea so we may have mentally accepted it, but the idea of eating cloned animal will take sometimes because there are still many questions unanswered (Hallman, 2002).
