Abstract:
For many decades, the world has been using
biotechnology to improve human life. Advances
in the science of biotechnology have allowed
humans to make major breakthroughs that greatly
improve the quality of life. For instance, Insulin
which is used to treat diabetes, was previously
manufactured from parts of animals such as a
cow’s pancreas. This was not a sustainable way to
mass produce insulin and some people’s bodies
rejected animal-insulin which increased their
sickness and led to death. But today, scientists
are using biotechnology to produce larger
amounts of better quality insulin to treat diabetes.
Biotechnology is therefore helping us to prepare
for and meet society’s most pressing challenges
by improving how we live, what we eat, and how
we want our future to look.
