Do my paper

Gene technology carries with it social and ethical implications—many of which engender personal views and discussion.

Select one (1) of the following biotechnology topics to write about:

• Genetically modified crop plants
• Genetically modified microorganisms
• Genetically modified animals
• Personal genomics and / or personalized medicine for humans
• Gene therapy

Write
a four (4) page paper on your chosen topic. Organize your
paper into sections corresponding to the following requirements:

1. Biological basis.
   Describe the technology. Discuss what it accomplishes. Elaborate on the
   scientific principles that make this technology possible. Your goal in
   this section of the paper is to show the instructor that you understand
   the underlying science behind the technology. Describe how exactly the
   technology works. Discuss the biological principles that underlie this
   technology.
2. Social and ethical implications.
   Without disclosing your personal view about this technology, provide an
   analysis of its social and ethical implications. State the ethical
   concerns apparent in the use of this technology. Discuss the benefits
   and risks. Your goal in this section is to look at all sides of the
   issue. In the next section, you will give your opinion.
3. Personal viewpoint.
   In the previous section, your goal was to be as objective as possible,
   to look at all sides of the issues. In this section, your goals are to
