Description and discussion of the consequences of the decision?
The fern spider is a great invention that helps scientist invent new species using plant products.

Discover the possible consequences (positive and negative) for each action?The positive things are that the fern spider was invented with interest,scientist are tyring to find if a spider combine with a plant could survive in a environment.
Negative: The fern spider could get eaten by a predator and could get instinct that wouldn't help people invent more animal combine.

The Cons of GE of Animals
Do you think that is right that GE technology is also used to create animals whose organs can then be injected into human beings do you agree or disagree and why?
GE and cloning are applied to animals to make precious pharmaceuticals which cannot be made in any other way. Thus human proteins can be produced in animal milk and used in therapies such as factor IX where sheep are treated for blood clotting disorders. - GE technology is also used to create animals whose organs can then be injected into human beings.

Genetic Engineering in Medicine: Vaccines, Blood Albumin from Rice
Do you think this medicine really helps humans in different ways to obtain medicine?
- Scientists have announced the development of genetically engineered rice to produce the human blood protein, albumin.
- With the hubris typical of conventional medicine’s scientists, they are already describing it as safe, though it has yet to go through any safety testing. Human serum albumin (HSA) has many medical uses, including treatment for serious burns, hemorraghic shock, hypoproteinemia, ascites (edema) in advanced liver cirrhosis, and as an excipient (carrier) in vaccines.
WHAT IS GENETIC ENGINEER- Genetic engineering (GE) is the modification of an organism’s genetic composition by artificial means, often involving the transfer of specific traits, or genes, from one organism into a plant or an of an entirely different species.
- Genetic engineering is different from traditional cross breeding, where genes can only be exchanged between closely related species.
- Does this definition go with the human Genetic Engineer?
Genetic Engineer Fern Spider
- The fern spider is unique on this list as it is the only combined plant and animal. At the time of writing this is the only animal that has successfully been crossed with a plant.
- The spider is a cross between a common Italian Wolf spider (Lycosa tarantula) and the ponga fern (Cyathea dealbata).
- The purpose of this bizarre crossbreed was to study the survival rates of spiders with built in camouflage versus those without in a series of studies on Natural Selection at Massey University in New Zealand.

GENETIC ENGINEER IN HUMANS
- Human genetic engineering is one of the most controversial aspects of a science, which is itself highly controversial, and it is still very much in its infancy.
- Human genetic engineering is the alteration of an individual's genotype with the aim of choosing the phenotype of a newborn or changing the existing phenotype of a child or adult.
- Do you agree or disagree with the facts of genetic engineer in humans?
