- Which system (type of stakeholder) that Easterbrook identified did you find your own understanding of GMOs most aligned with? Why? What are some of the stakes of these stakeholders?
It‘s hard for me to choose one single system. In my view, system 3 (a system of ecosystems and contaminants that weaken the,), system7 (a system of potential threats to human health and well-being), and system 8 (a system of sustainable agriculture with long time horizons) all align with my understanding of GMOs a lot. If I have to choose a “most,” the answer would be system 7 – a system of potential threats to human health and well-being. One significant stake in this system is the irreversible future. This stake appears in both system 3 and system 7. What’s more, from my perspective, GMOs are food for humans, so food safety must be the very first. Human beings rely on food to be alive. Mistakes in medical experiments are mostly under control in labs, but errors in GMOs would affect people all over the world.
- Using your own topic for research, can you Identify 3 stakeholders with different perspectives, and then describe the system from which they are operating?
- Scientist doing research: Focus on how different types of fenestras function for different kinds of animals, plants, and insects. The problem they would face might be animal protection during their experiments. Also, their research might pose a risk to ecosystems.
- Artist doing art projects: Fenestra is treated as a biological pattern under this perspective.
- Medical investigator: They would focus on potential diseases related to fenestra in human bodies. Their research might pose a risk to people.
It is significant that you have chosen this biological branch of the fenestra topic. What might be classified as fenestra outside of the conventional biological understanding? What are some of the differences (if any) or relationships between scientific research on humans and non-human animals? What are the ethics of such practices?
