TPO 21 - Genetically modified trees
Both the reading and the lecture discuss the outcomes of genetically modified trees. The reading passage provides us with three possible benefits of planting genetically modified trees. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the passage. According to his lecture, he presents three following refutations.
First of all, the reading tells that genetically modified trees are easier to survive than normal trees because these special trees are much harder than natural trees. However, the lecturer severely rejects this claim by arguing that modified trees, in fact, are more vulnerable than normal trees. To be more specific, because all the modified trees have the same genes, no one of these trees can survive if one pest does harm to anyone of genetically modified trees, but a few of normal trees do survive due to the diversity of their genes. As a result, the reading passage lacks a piece of convincing evidence to rationalize his argument.
Secondly, the author of this reading passage supports that growing these genetically modified trees can bring a lot of economic benefits to these farmers. On the contrary, the speaker firmly refutes this argument by analyzing seriously the cost of planting these unnatural trees. In detail, it is much expensive for these genetically modified seeds than normal seeds. Moreover, these company inventing genetically modified trees disallows farmers to collect and re-plant these seeds. Therefore, planting these genetically modified trees actually did not bring positive economic outcomes to farmers.
Last but not least, the reading indicates that planting modified trees prevents the overexploitation of wild trees. In contrast, the scholar firmly challenges this argument by telling that these modified trees endanger the survival of normal trees. In other words, genetically modified trees compete with normal trees for resources such as water and land. Furthermore, because these modified trees grow aggressively than normal trees, they will crowd out normal trees in the end. Apparently, growing modified trees do harm to nature.
In conclusion, the speaker provides three pieces of solid evidence and refutes strongly all the argument proposed by the author of the reading that growing genetically modified trees can bring benefits to our environment and people.
