Rationale Godfrey (2000) in the Lancet claimed that it is unknown whether the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture affects human health. While the article discussed uncertainties of GM foods, it stated the USA has a broad range of modified nourishment already but lacks case study on the affects for those who digest the…

Food plays an important role in the peoples life because people always need food to eat to get the energy so that they can do the movements, live and work daily. By seeing that food is very important for every life, they try to find modern method, such as genetically modified food, in order to…

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from animals or plants whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified. For example, by the insertion of a gene from another organism, in a fashion that does not occur normally. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology, while the resulting organism is claimed to…

Genetic modification is the area of biotechnology which concerns itself with the manipulation of genetic material in living organisms and enabling them to perform a specific function. New developments leading to modern genetic modification which took place in 1946 where scientists first discovered that genetic material was transferable between different species. Genetically modified yields have…

Genetically modified soy has become increasingly popular among food distributors all over the world. In fact, soy is the most genetically modified product on the planet, causing most soybeans we purchase and consume to be genetically modified organisms. These legumes are mainly cultivated as they are high in protein and oils. Since soy is a…

I am here today on behalf of the city in the desert to talk about and explain the subject of genetically modified organisms, I will also be giving the advantages and disadvantages of GMOs and addressing the implications of GMOs in relation to society and the environment.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are still new technology we don’t know if it will be helpful or harmful to humanity. GMOs are a pretty controversial topic and people often have very strong opinions about them. Many people believe that GMOs will solve all the world’s food problems and others think that they will be the…
