Some of the advantages of selective cutting are: * It supports more varieties of wildlife than clearcutting * It is more resistant to disease and insect manifestations than clearcutting * It leaves a lighter ecological footprint * It creates a more natural-looking forest stand after harvesting * At higher elevations and in northern forests, it encourages growth of desirable shade tolerant tree species Overall, Selective cutting is better for the environment because it does not cut down full areas like clear-cutting.

What are the advantages of using laser scalpels?
None. A laser will control bleeding as it cuts, but that is no different from the cautery unit used in every OR. The cutting lasers are not more precise or selective than a scalpel or a skilled surgeon at the helm of Metzenbaum scissors. Now, non-cutting lasers are a different deal--can be very selective, but are not a scalpel.
