The MMR vaccine was scientifically engineered using both natural materials and those modified by man. Examples of some of the Earth’s resources that are used to make the MMR Vaccine include the starch of corn and hydrolyzed gelatin (derived from animal collagen, collective tissue and also the skin …show more content…
Firstly, they must find out if the recourse is renewable and if the amount used in the vaccines will affect the earth’s supply. They next need to consider how the recourse will be detained and whether or not this will affect the environment, for example salt can be collected using three different methods, deep shaft mining, solution mining and solar evaporation. All of these methods, particularly solution mining, require industrial development such as machines, mine facilities and warehouses. As all these need power and energy to run, and the burning of fossil fuels may need to occur in order for these projects to continue running. The use of coal, oil or natural gas is an important factor that can contribute to global warming and can have large effects on the earth’s environment. Scientists then have to consider how the resource will be transported and how that will affect the environment, for example by truck or by plane (which releases gases into the atmosphere and pollutes the ozone layer etc.) and also if the use of this resource could provide jobs for people around the world, increasing global economy and improving
