Transgenic application‚ advanced gene splicing techniques which are all part of biotechnology gave rise to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and moving genes also referred to as genetic engineering (GE). These new genetically science allows genetic material from one species to be transferred into another species‚ creating transgenic organism with combinations of gene from plants‚ animals‚ bacterial or even a viral gene pools. This intentional transfer of genetic material has in turn brought biotechnology

Phytominers cultivate crops of a specific plant species with high concentrations of a desired metal‚ harvest the plant and deliver it to a furnace to burn and gather its bio-ore. As a potential alternative to environmentally destructive mining practices‚ phytomining has great promise to transform the way metals are extracted from the environment; however‚ phytomining has yet to produce metal yields that would begin to satisfy global demand.

Vice’s article titled “GMOs Aren’t That Bad but Monsanto is Worse” rhetorically argues that Monsanto‚ a horrible agricultural-biotechnology corporation‚ is improper engineering and is pushing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on North America. Vice’s key point is that not only does Monsanto engineer and push unhealthy‚ hazardous inorganic seeds and foods on consumers‚ but manipulatively takes advantage of the market.
