Artificial selection is also commonly referred as selective breading. It is when you take 2 living orgasms and make them breed to get the specific outcome like a cow that can fly and a cow that can swim and he breed them together to get a flying swimming cow and he did that on propose. That is Artificial selection. and usaly the strogest get to repudose and survive.
These are the steps in Artificial selection :
1 Decide which characteristics are important
2 Choose parents that show these characteristics
3 Select the best offspring from parents to breed the next generation
4 Repeat the process continuously
Artificial selection happens in farms for like cows and Wheat Wheat
Producing disease-resistant wheat by crossbreeding wheat plants

it is not ethical to do artificial selection beacuse we are taking living organisms and making them beed. It Takes Away Business From Animal Shelters. it is not our choice and we do this for ourselves and when you do this its also is nad for the animals. if we do this then eventually no new DNA charastics that are good will come and we will have the same ones over and over. also it is not natural it ruins the evolution chain. also animals have rights we are taking them away from theme. And some dogs are breed to be compition dogs they dont care about the dog they just want the best dog. the dog’s personality barely matters. and how do we know when this will stop sure right now they are doing it on animals and crops but theye could do this on humans EG if you are born with a problem thats not your fault you wont be allowed to reproduce and only the best of the best can same goes with animals. and its not fair that animals dont have rights. and on farms really all we do is do selective breeding to get the most out of the crop or animal to get money and for our own needs we dont care about the animal. Pure Breeding Is The Racism of The Animal Kingdom in other words we are racist if we want a pet most people would not want a disabled dog or cat or want a specific breed and that one dog that has a problem will never be loved and we are being
“Industrial agriculture characteristically proceeds by single solutions to single problems: If you want the most money from your land this year, grow the crops for which the market price is highest.” - Wendell Berry Many people question whether or not the morality of treating animals in a humane way outweighs the morality of cheaper food for a nation where 1 in 6 people are facing hunger, and/or starving in any way. Back in the day, a while after World War II, industrial agriculture was applauded as a technological success that permitted an ever growing population to practically feed themselves. Now, many farmers and scientists see it as a blind alley, rather made for factory work.
Valerie Wangnet's article introduces factory farming from the viewpoint of the livestock. She first tells an awful story of dairy cows bellowing all night long because their newborn calves had been removed for slaughter. This created an issue with nearby neighbors of the farm to which police released a statement claim that the cows were not in any distress. Wangnet chastises society for valuing the lives of some animals over that of others. She continues to compare the ways in which pets are treated compared to farm animals, and then lists the many cruelties that are inflicted upon farm animals.
Research Paper Rough Draft- Eugenics The amazing thing about the world today is the rapidly changing society, and the contemporary technology. Something that scientist have been working to perfect for many years is the modernization of eugenics. It is changing the way people are born by selecting specific traits for an individual to be smarter, stronger, more attractive and many other traits. Many parents of the new generation are willing to try the science of eugenics for their child to be customized to them.
The issue that causes the most anger for many breeders is when people ignore how much health testing they do for their dogs. Many people believe that health testing is a wonderful way to prevent many genetic diseases. Health testing looks at the genes of an animal and searches for impurities, therefore, if an impurity is found the animal is not used for breeding to ensure it does not pass down that disease (Peck). There are a lot of breeders who believe that this fact is overlooked when people who are anti-purebreds make their arguments. Stephanie Poot was one breeder who was extremely offended after reading an article that slandered dog breeders and responded with an article called “Dog Breeder Offended” in which she calls out the article that made her and fellow breeders out to be monsters.
Bittman believe the roof of this problem is the state law. Farm animals are not protected by state law. People are distuish by those evdeient. It in deed rise awareness. The law maker came up with an excellent idea to prevent that.
“To satisfy the public's ever-growing appetite for meat, slaughterhouses in the United States killed ten billion animals last year. That's 27,397,260 animals every day, 1,141,553 every hour, 19,026 every minute” (Jones). Many animals are being placed in slaughter houses each year to meet this high demand. Farm animal welfare refers to the state, living condition, and treatment, animals are but under in farms. Cruel animal welfare has spread throughout the world killing millions of animals in inhumane ways.
If we let the government have as much power as they have and even more we are going to lose our rights because once the government starts their big plan to completely over rule us we
Animal cruelty is defined as, “human infliction of suffering or harm upon any animal for purposes other than self-defense or survival.” When people or an organization take a look at clubs like Future Farmers of America (or FFA) or 4-H they think, “how can they be so cruel to their animals;
However, this isn't the most important reason as to why I don't think it's right. I think by genetically modifying these organisms, it's like playing God. God
A disadvantage of artificial selection is stated on, “Lee County Students”, saying that “However, genetic modification is highly controversial.” This is a disadvantage because artificial selection is not fully proven to work, and there are not many studies that show it works easily. Another disadvantage of artificial selection is an unexpected result. There are many different outcomes of artificial selection and can be a surprise to the organism and owner, stated on “Pros and Cons of Artificial Selection”. A final disadvantage of artificial selection is shortened life.
Eugenics is the science of using artificial selection to improve genetic features of the population. It is thought that improvement of the human race can be seen through sterilization of people who exhibit undesirable traits and selective breeding. Often called Social Darwinism, the concept was widely accepted during the time of World War I. It quickly became a taboo after World War II when Nazi Germany used it as an excuse for genocide. The thought of improving the human race by manipulating who is allowed to breed can either be appalling or compelling.
Introduction: Genetically modified organisms can be defined as organisms in which the DNA has been changed in a way that does not occur naturally by any reproduction procedure. The enviropig is just one of many organisms that they did experiments on to modify it to have specific (needed) outcomes. The reason for genetic modification is to be able to change a product or organism so that it deliver desirable traits. The enviropig was created to solve the problem of pigs not being able to absorb enough phosphorous from their diet, which then in its turn contributes to the larger factor of pollution.
I’m here today to talk about a controversial issue that has been around for a period of time, animal testing. Animal testing using animals in experiments with different chemical substances in everything from medical to cosmetic to determine their safety as well as effectiveness . It’s a problem that has existed since the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE with its merciless methods and painful ways of abusing animals for human demands, but now it’s time for it to stop. Our technology has developed significantly since; therefore, such medieval methods of torturing animals are no longer necessary. Researches have shown that each year, over 100 million animals are tortured and killed in American laboratories alone, including dogs, cats and more; this shows how far out of hand animal testing have gotten.
“In 2016, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimated that Americans ate an average of 54.3 pounds of beef, 92.1 pounds of chicken, and 50.4 pounds of pork, per person, per year” (Vegetarianism). Food production counts for only one of the many injustices animals face daily. Although they have been proven emotionally intelligent, mankind views these entities as subservient and continue to harm them. People around the world have created organizations that work to ameliorate the treatment of animals. As the animal rights movement nobly fights to improve the conditions of these living creatures, daily human activities and the moral values of some prolong the acceptance of animal equality.
Whether this is morally right or wrong, I will present both sides of the argument as well as my opinion. PROS OF ANIMAL TESTING Nearly every nobel Laureate in physiology or medicine since 1901 has relied on animal research. Animal testing has decreased heavily over the years, with not very necessary things like makeup. Without animal testing we wouldn't have the many of the surgerys that we can today such as hip replacement surgery, kidney transplants, heart transplants, or blood transfusions.
