After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded
Advantages:
1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.
2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)
3) And of course, it's painless and convenient
Disadvantages:
1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.
2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants).
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)
3)"Oral Tolerance": In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.
The orca's body, like that of other living creatures, is made up of cells. Eukaryotic cells are seen in orca whales. Cells of this sort can be found in all mammals. A nucleus is found in eukaryotic cells. The nucleus is the cell's brain. The nucleus directs the activity of the cell in the same way as the human brain directs the movements of the body. DNA is found in the nucleus. The blueprint for an animal's body is DNA. The genetic code is carried by DNA. The messenger RNA transports the DNA information to the ribosome, which is where proteins are produced. Organelles, which serve as miniature organs with various functions, are found in every cell. Killer whales have 44 chromosomes, and an outstanding banding investigation on six killer whales revealed significant C-band variation. Because they have complex cells, killer whales are classified as Eukaryotes. Membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus, are found in their cells.
The recommended weight limit according to NIOSH would be base on an equation and is dependent to a number of factors. This equation is called the NIOSH Lifting equation. Under ideal conditions, the maximum recommended weight is 51 pounds. Hope this answers the question.
If someone I was helping has mental capacity but wants to do something unwise; I would talk to them about something possible
