Textbook Question
Chapter 14.8, Problem 1CT
Genetic engineering is used both in food crops and in medicine. Golden Rice and almost all the corn and soybeans grown in the United States contain genes from other species. The hepatitis B vaccine is produced by inserting a gene from the hepatitis virus into yeast. The antibodies in ZMapp, currently in clinical trials as an Ebola therapy, are part mouse and part human. Are there scientifically important differences in the use of genetic engineering for food or for medical purposes? Would you accept GMO products for medicine but not food? Defend your position.
