Describe hazards of transgenic animals.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Hazards of Transgenic Animals.
1. Proteins. Genes introduced in various organisms operate through synthesis of polypeptides, proteins and enzymes. However, foreign proteins are generally attacked by the defence system resulting in damaged biochemicals which may prove harmful in the long term or produce allergy.
2. Human Organs. Replaceable human organs like kidneys, liver, heart, pancreas etc. can best be obtained only from autografts and isografts. Will it be ethical to grow human body or human body organs for obtaining the required organs.
3. Human Cloning. This can solve the problem of infertility. However, such a method of human reproduction will destroy family system, fine human feelings and fabric of human society.
4. Recreation. It is not only a fancy but also desire of numerous children, adults and the elderly, to see live dinosaurs.
