The use of DDT as a pesticide is an example of how new technology can have favorable and dangerous long-term outcomes. How does this relate to the use of DNA technology?

DDT initially helped control pests, but its long-term environmental and health effects showed that new technologies can have unintended consequences. DNA technology could also have benefits as well as risks, so scientists should study its long-term consequences before drawing conclusions. Choice B, conducting long-term studies, best reflects this lesson.
