Selective breeding – artificial selection, a process used by humans to develop new organisms with desirable characteristics. Examples such as dogs, wild mustard, banana, and even groups of humans. It develops or strengthens the characteristics that we desire, and at the cost of time and the vulnerability for certain harms that could potentially lead to genocide. Because of the homogeneous of DNA, these group of the living organism is susceptible to a simple, single threat. GMO, genetically modified organism, functions the same. What differs GMO to selective breeding is the method of changing DNA. Selective breeding selects the observable traits to produce naturally while GMO observes the units of DNA and the linkage to particular characteristics before modifying such units.
Selective breeding lessens the chance of an organism to mutate and reduce the possibility of variance. Variance is defined as an organism being able to choose one set of DNA, in a total of two, at birth. Mutation is defined as an organism choosing the out-of-the-box choices, leaving the desirable, or questionable development of growth. Cancer is a form of mutation that an organism can exhibit. Self-production in cells could lead to erroneous results. Hence the older a human is, the more likely a single cell will produce cancers.
In human sociological development, we tend to gather with those who we look alike. Although it may not be the best interest of humanity to remain homogeneous, we prefer to stay within our communities. At times, a sacrifice must be needed in the form that a person must interact with the heterogeneous groups to develop variant traits in the event of facing threats unless mutation can occur as desired at a quick pace. Or possibly, GMO can be a way to escape, giving us the options to choose what would be better, after all calculation and evaluations, at a fraction of time.
