Revolution Of GMO Research Paper

GMOs, (genetically modified organisms) have been a topic of interest in the social eyes for years. Since they’ve been created, many people have voiced and written about their opinions on GMOs, and whether they are dangerous or not. Created to expand the genetic diversity of crops and animals, many don’t know whether GMOs are good or bad, and neither do researchers. Though there hasn’t been any evidence claiming whether GMOs are good or bad, it has certainly not stopped the public from creating their own opinions. Since no one knows the truth behind GMO, it has opened a window of opportunities for companies including Monsanto to voice their support of GMO, while other companies like the Non-GMO Project voice their

The article contains necessary information to support why GMOs are more beneficial than harmful. The author believes that, “consumers should weigh the positives with the negatives and embrace this innovative process.” In the article, the author provides information about GMOs to be concerned about but successfully gives

Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMO’s, are organisms that have had genes from a different organism implanted into their own genetic code in order to produce a new result (“Genetically engineered foods”). This practice has elicited polar responses across the globe, for a multitude of reasons. Besides the obvious reason, being the morality of changing an organism's DNA for human benefit, one frequently noted problem is the monopolization of GMO’s by the company Monsanto, whose name is nearly synonymous with GMO’s due to their involvement with these crops. Monsanto has been at the center of many controversies regarding GMO’s, and is even considered to be ranked third to last for reputation among all major American companies (Bennett). Most

Over the past few decades a new controversy has arisen in the scientific community: should Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) be used in modern society. There are generally two sides to this debate: one being in favor of GMO use and the other against it. Pro GMO activists believe that GMOs can help address hunger issues and help reduce use of pesticides/insecticides while Anti-GMO activists state that it is a threat to the agriculture industry, and should be banned. Both sides have several valid points, however GMO’s are even more complicated from initial glance, and may not be as dangerous as some believe.

While the agricultural world is working hard to make positive influences on more efficient farming, individuals have treated GMO’s as a negative alteration in their produce. Farmers and researchers in the agricultural world claim no harm can be done by them. GMO’s have not yet been proven to be harmful to humans and have, in fac,t had a positive impact on the food industry today.

GMOs are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. The GMO debate has a huge gap just like the climate change’s ambiguous debate. Some people are for the consumption of it and have as arguments that GMOs will feed the future population of the world that is expected to double in the few years to come, or that scientists can build stronger crops that resist to pests, therefore less use of pesticides. Some are against these ideas because they think that GMOs represent a threat to the environment and that they can cause a lot of health problems. The goal of this paper is to look at two articles “The GMO Debate is Over Again” by Mark Lynas and" Seeds of Evil: Monsanto and Genetic Engineering" by Dr. Joseph Mercola, and see where the use rhetorical strategies are effective and where they are not.

Genetically modified food’s, or GMOs, goal is to feed the world's malnourished and undernourished population. Exploring the positive side to GMOs paints a wondrous picture for our planet’s future, although careful steps must be taken to ensure that destruction of our ecosystems do not occur. When GMOs were first introduced into the consumer market they claimed that they would help eliminate the world’s food crisis by providing plants that produced more and were resistant to elemental impacts like droughts and bacterial contaminants, however, production isn’t the only cause for the world’s food crisis. Which is a cause for concern because the population on the earth is growing and our land and ways of agriculture will not be enough to feed

The pros into having a genetically modified system of foods to plant around the world is mainly said that it’s the best and safest way to improving agriculture and food production. Very tempting to the scientists and some farmers because of the hunger around the world that’s happening, which makes the pressure even greater for them. It sounds nice being able to hold the power of this technology which can solve America’s problem of world hunger and poverty, that’s what scientists wants us to accept. Another bonus to this GMO is that it states there is absolutely no studies showing that it has caused harm, so it’s safe and healthy to eat. There’s also no proof showing there has been such harm to this genetically modified organism. It is also

This article brings about a vital question to the forefront, are GMOs really safe? The article goes on to dissect all the myths about genetic modification and points out the fact that there has been no strict regulation on the production

When it comes to the topic of whether genetic modification are safe or unsafe for the animals, the environment and for human consumption, some of us will readily agree that they are in fact very dangerous for everyone. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how exactly they affect everyone. Whereas some are convinced that GMOs are not safe for anyone, others maintain that they are not a hazard to anyone. I agree that GMOs are not safe because while doing my research I found concrete evidence that proves that they are unsafe for consumption. All production of GMOs should be discontinued immediately since they are a danger for our environment and for ourselves.

An issue plighting the discussion of GMOs is the marketing behind GMOs labeling. While there is already in place regulation to ensure that companies comply with moderate labeling of any additives (Runge) some people wish to see labeling directly notating GMOs in food products. This has led some experts to think that more labeling may have some adverse effects on the economy. As Dr. Runge says in his study of negative GMO labeling, “Given the extent to which GMOs have already entered the food and fiber chain, such a label would convey relatively little information” (Runge). There is the possibility that labels might inaccurately convey health risks to the consumer. Sales for non-GMO products will then rise due to fear invoking advertising. Markets and Consumers have already seen this in the dairy industry. Markets around America and the rest of the modern world are now confusing consumers with “Greenwashing” rhetoric. Promoting more expensive Non-GMOs products and non-GMOs movements for increased

This article shows why Thierry Vrain, a former pro GMO scientist, switched his position on GMO’s. He stated that all the studies on GMO safety that were done in the U.S. and Canada were done on environmental safety and productivity, and were paid for by pro GMO companies such as Monsanto. Because GMOs are good for productivity and safe for the environment, they were deemed safe for humans as well. Nowadays, there are biotechnical, insecticidal crops everywhere, and not one study in the U.S. or Canada done to prove their safety. However, studies were done on rats in Europe and Russia, which proved that GMOs create new, toxic proteins in their consumers resulting in premature death. These studies show that proteins produced by GMO insertions

There is much controversy when discussing the topic of Genetically Modified Organisms. Whether it may concern moral or ethical factors, there always seems to be considerable arguments either defending or arguing against GMOs. Based on research, GMOs prove to be extremely present in our food supply worldwide. Chemical engineering, fertilization, as well as other methods of manufacturing come into question when formulating an opinion on GMOs. Due to the manipulation of biotechnology that effectively yields products like GMOs, the public is not only susceptible to whatever side effects that may come with chemically altered produce but also the mind boggling conscience of consuming food that isn’t necessarily “all natural” or “natural”.

GMO’s are created by gene-splicing a plant’s dna, and modifying it to meet the creators needs. But plants that are modified like this, their seeds can spread, and affect other plants, and eventually, affect us. A research team from the FDA ( Federal Department of Agriculture), found that over 80% of the world's corn population has been affected by GMO’s. If we eat this corn, it may cause bad news for us.

The main Idea that is presented in this article is: Due to the predicted population (9 billion in 2050), and the fact that billions of people are already starving to death, countries such as Great Britain need to begin focusing on GM crops to provide food for everyone. In my opinion, the purpose of the text is to show a political and economic stand point of a country’s status in regard to the population, and food scarcity. This article is published by The Guardian, a British daily newspaper that publishes a variety of article ranging from poverty to sporting events. The article was published on March 16, 2014. After reading the article a couple of times, I came to the conclusion that this article is written for many groups such as anti-GM
