The mayhaw fruit trees produce a fruit that has never been cultivated by humans. two mayhaw trees are growing in a field. they are identical in every way, except that tree #1 contains a mutation that causes the mayhaw berries it produces to have very little of the sugary flesh and twice as many seeds per berry. tree #2 produces average mayhaw berries with an average amount of seeds. which tree will have more offspring that live to maturity?

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
