How could biotechnology impact your life?
Like any powerful tool biotechnology has positive and negative impacts depending on how it is used- as an old technology it has already impacted life a lot. I view wine and cheese both as positive impacts, and they are very old biotech products, as are modern tomatos, artificial heart valves, and disease resistant vegetables. I see weaponized anthrax, tuluremia and small pox as negative threats that could kill me. I view the "corn culture" of American factory agriculture as a mixed bag at best. It feeds masses of people at very low cost, but it degrades the joy of eating and agravates diabetes and a host of other health issues. For newer products from genetically modified crops to bioengineered human organs the jury is still out. No doubt some may improve the quality of life and may extend it, while others could wipe humaity off the face of the earth, if someone makes a serious mistake.

What are some negative impacts of biotechnology?
The largest negative impact is when the biotechnology isn't controlled and it mixes with natural plants. Another is that food created using biotechnology has not been heavily tested to be healthy. Then there is the economical aspect where the biotechnology companies (such as monsanto) take advantage of the US patent system (which needs a refore). Also biotechnology companies take advantage of the contamination (which was my first point) to get more money.we we
