The title of my article is GMO Facts: Common GMO Claims Debunked from the website Popular Science; July 11, 2014 by Brooke Borel. https://www.popsci.com/
Genetically modified organisms mainly food staples have been utilized to ease worldwide hunger for many years and questions continually arise concerning the safety of human consumption to damaging the environment. This article refutes 10 claims that GMO’s cause health problems, super insects, harms beneficial insects, and not needed to feed the world’s people. Popular Science has provided 10 claims and debunked each one.
The articles infers that GMO’s are beneficial to mankind which is the main topic.
Biology is the main field of science breaking down to botany, horticulture, genetics, hydrology, and geology play significant parts with the advancement of GMO products. Chemistry and Meteorology.

Title: More than 8 million babies born from IVF since the world’s first in 1978
Link: https://www.
This news story is a summary of IVF in the last forty years and how it’s popularity has grown.
The main topic of the news story is to bring awareness that in the last forty years there has been an increase in the use of the science of invitro-fertilization. There used to be such a stigma attached to the use of IVF and the children that resulted from this science were called “test-tube babies”. Luckily, with the growing popularity of IVF the stigma is less and less.
The branches of the natural sciences that I feel are part of the topic of this news story is life sciences because this is the study of living organisms. Biology and medicine is the discipline that falls under the life sciences and the sub-discipline that I feel applies to this news story would be cellular biology.
The two questions that might be of interest to a scientist based on the information in the article are:
1. Does the use of ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) improve upon the rate of pregnancy or just the rate of fertilization?
2. With the use of ICSI or IVF, is a fresh cycle or frozen cycle likely to result in pregnancy?

You bring up some very good points and some topics. Your questions also bring up additional questions like how do hospital and treatment centers evolve each year to combat the threat of cancer. Cancer is constantly evolving and so should the treatment. Just to think that today we have shots for many types of illnesses and kemp therapy for different type of cancer. Think about the jump that we as humans made in just the last 20 years in the medical field and dealing with different type of cancer. Good questions.
