the environments best interest. Factors such as poverty, wealth and inequality place burdens on the environment and possible sustainability. Genetically modified foods could be a key factor in advancing the goal of sustainable development. Biotechnology is the use of biological science to alter living organisms for the benefit of mankind. Every organism carries a set of instructions telling it how to grow and reproduce in its genes. Genetic engineering is deliberately changing a plants make up

impossible right? Wrong. According the theory The New World Order (NWO) has created a microscopic fully-functioning helicopter via biotechnology in attempts to take over the world. Many people defend the theory of these “Black Helicopters”. Not much is known about Black Helicopters. What we do know is they are autonomous agents –life forms- created by the NWO. Using Biotechnology the NWO has successfully created life forms modeled after helicopters. They appear to exhibit intelligent behavior and adaptive

the case and conclude with some recommendations for the company. Introducing the case, the first section of this report examines current issue of Genzyme, such as diversification and its implications. Science sits at the most basic level of a biotechnology company, followed by diversification, a trend where businesses integrate its daily operation. The development of the issue shows clearly its source. The recommendations are based on the analysis made by an external company, Relational Investor

products to include the artificial sweetener saccharine used by Coca-Cola. Due to past major legal obstacles (Orange Agent) they shifted their efforts from the chemical realm to an organization focused on biotechnology. Their past history has generated a consensus on the possibility of how biotechnology might affect the environment and peoples’ health (Ferrell 302). In order to look at stakeholder’s interest we must look at whether Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that effectively responds to various

the World Health Organization, Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) are "organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in such a way that does not occur naturally."1 This technology is also referred to as "genetic engineering", "biotechnology" or "recombinant DNA technology" and consists of randomly inserting genetic fragments of DNA from one organism to another, usually from a different species. For example, an artificial combination of genes that includes a gene to produce the pesticide
