SHOULD WE EDIT THE NATURAL WORLD?
BBC Focus - Science & Technology
|Summer 2021
A process that began centuries ago with selective breeding has developed into genetic modification. HAYLEY BENNETT explores the consequences of using these controversial tools
Back in the 1990s, we debated the risks and benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops. Some found the idea of eating ‘non-natural’ foods unsavoury, while others saw the merits of crops with increased yields and resistance to pests, drought and disease. Today, as pressures on farming intensify under climate change, we’re seeing a new debate. The difference now is that scientists have better tools for editing genomes and we’re not just talking about using them in crops.
