  1. Hello. My name is Emma Waters, and today we're going
  2. to be talking about genetic engineering.
  3. Genetic engineering is the modifying of a organism.
  4. Organisms that have been modified are called genetically modified organisms,
  5. or GMOs, because they're recombinant, DNA has been altered to
  6. make desire traits.
  7. And here's a link you can look at to dive
  8. into genetic engineering and, um, or basics level fun.
  9. Fact for you would be that 75% of food in
  10. the United States is genetically modified, and here we have
  11. a picture of corn.
  12. Because corn is one of the most genetically modified food
  13. in the United States.
  14. Now we're going to be talking about genetically modified animals.
  15. Genetically modified animals are test subjects for scientists who are
  16. trying to learn more about how to adjust or create
  17. certain traits and animals.
  18. An example would be goats that produce silk, faster growing
  19. Salman and pigs with leaner meat.
  20. Some health effects would be when humans messed with the
  21. genes of animals.
  22. Majority of the time they're unwanted health effects.
  23. One example that I'm going to elaborate on would be
  24. the English bulldog, the English bulldog, even though it is
  25. a very cute dog has many health effects because of
  26. genetic engineering.
  27. Some of those health effects would be painful hip disease,
  28. dry eye and under by which you could see in
  29. the photo and a shortened face, which causes breathing troubles.
  30. In this next picture, we're going to be talking about
  31. the statistics off the Aqua Advantage.
  32. Salman. As you can see, there was a spike in
  33. 1990 because everybody was trying to make more Salman because
  34. they found out a few genetically engineered it to have
  35. more meat.
  36. Then it would all the Salmond had more meat because
  37. it would reproduce.
  38. Now most the Salman were dying off.
  39. And so, as you could see after the 1990 spike,
  40. it just took an immediate dive.
  41. So no more Salman were being engineered anymore.
  42. It is illegal in the Atlantic Ocean because they are
  43. almost extinct, and the next picture we have here is
  44. a spider vote, which means that three goat produces spiderwebs.
  45. I'm not sure if that has any health effects or
  46. not, but it definitely is a very interesting thing to
  47. see. Next we're going to talk about is genetically modified
  48. foods. Genetically modified foods are no different nutritionally than other
  49. foods that are not genetically modified unless they are intentionally
  50. modified to add to the nutritional value.
  51. An example of a genetically modified foods that are intentionally
  52. modified will be golden rice.
  53. And here is a YouTube video.
  54. You can watch more on GMO nutrition.
  55. Golden Rice was created to fix problems in countries like
  56. India, where they were having a growing population that is
  57. extremely poor.
  58. Golden rice was generally engineered to have more vitamin A
  59. to fix the problem of blindness of a pregnant women
  60. and Children.
  61. Next, we're going to talk about genetically modified medicines.
  62. It is important to know when I say genetically modified
  63. medicines. It means that these medicines have been taken from
  64. humans and animals to make the medicines.
  65. The medicine itself was not genetically modified.
  66. Genetic engineering has been used to create insulin, human growth
  67. hormones and vaccinations.
  68. And here's the YouTube video you can watch that will
  69. dive more deep into the medicines of that have been
  70. created by genetic engineering.
  71. Thank you for watching this video.
  72. I greatly appreciate appreciate it.
  73. Have a great day.
  74. I hope you had fun learning about genetic engineering.
  75. Thank you.
