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.
