Humans will regrow the plants to use in any process they need to use the plant in. Farmers have always tried to use information discovered by Gregor Mendel about genetics to predict the pattern of inherited characteristics to help them control the genes their plants have.  With advancements in genetic engineering have made it possible to express proteins in plants to become more resistant to insects that will eat the farmer's plants or chemicals that could kill the plant (Brown, 2013). ... The plant is given different hormones to create masses of cells without a purpose in the plant (Bro...

The self, Rogers concluded is not a fixed entity, rather it is 'the organized, consistent, conceptual gestalt composed of perceptions of the characteristics of the "I" or "me" and the perceptions of the relationships of the "I" or "me" to others and to various aspects of life, together with the values attached to these perceptions" (Rogers, 1959, p.200). Rogers proposed that the fully functioning human organism striving to self-actualise is like a plant that given the right conditions is able to grow to it's full potential if the conditions are right.
