The Problem Of Genetically Modified Organism

Now, some of you may be wondering, “What exactly are GMOs,” or “Why should I care about them?” GMOs stand for genetically modified, or engineered, organisms. Scientists GM foods by inserting genes from an unrelated species into another. The explanation given from scientists on why they do this is for the safety of our health. It is believed that genetically modifying foods are to 'strengthen,' or enhance the food product. However, rather than aid our health like it was

GMOs are awful for your well being, are very harmful to the environment and the animals that live in the wild, and they are harmful to the future of society. While some may say that GMOs are helping the earth by fixing world hunger this is not true, GMOs are doing more harm than good in our society. Imagine what will happen if we continue to eat these foods without knowing it, they will continue to harm our body and the earth in the future. The real question is, will there be a

Genetically Modified Organisms are organisms that are infused with DNA extracted from another organism, which can come from plants, animals and even human genes. Although many companies have decided that buyers of their products do not need to be informed on the dangers of genetically modified organisms, consumers deserve to be informed by product labeling because the unnatural production of consumable products can, and will create detriments to our bodies, our environment and other living things.

GMO’s or Genetically Modified Food is one of the most controversial topics that have been studied and debated for over 40 years. Scientists on both sides of the spectrum claim that these modified foods are safe for consumption, but also some argue that these foods are toxic and very harmful to human life. GMO’s are genetically modified organisms that are created and added in a lab experiment where DNA are extracted from one gene and added to another plant or animal. This allows the genes to mix with the DNA to create a desired product. For example, bigger apples, larger oranges, taller animals, and plants that can survive the changing climate. GMOs are different from organic food and products because chemicals and DNA modification is not needed for these natural stuff.

In todays society, people are more concerned about what they put into their body. They eat healthy and maintain a stable diet, but unknown to a number of these people is their food may have been tampered with in the form of Genetically Modified Organisms or, for short, GMO's. Genetically Modified Organisms are plants or animals whose DNA has been altered to favor a certain characteristic or trait which is already in the DNA. This includes enhancing the DNA in plants to make them bigger, invincible to pests, or invincible towards weeds. Although, the reason why GMO's are a controversial topic is because of lack of knowledge. Genetically Modified Organisms are risky and potentially to dangerous to be handling because of the unknown side effects

GMO’s stand for “genetically modified organism” (Google). They are foods that we encounter almost every day. “Although nine out of ten scientists from the American Association for the Advancement of Science say GMOs are "generally safe" to eat” (fact about GMO’s). That still doesn’t mean that they are good for us. Genetically modified foods were created with the intention to improve overall quality of life. However, they are associated with various environmental, health, and economic risks that render them to be more harmful than helpful.

GMO’s are commonly misunderstood to be a negative way of producing food but contrary to popular belief they actually benefit americans and help america prosper. A GMO is a crop or livestock animal that has had its DNA altered and specific changes made to receive the desired result. Certain parts of DNA are either taken from or added to and organism to somehow better it. The use of GMOs in not as new as most citizens may think and can be very beneficial. GMOs are used quite often, they can

A GMO is when a gene from the DNA of one organism is put into the DNA of another Organism.GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. Cows, Chickens, Pigs, and even Plants can have their DNA changed. Scientists developed this gene changing method which is a main cause of animal suffering. Factory Farms nearly 100% of the animals are given GMO’s to make them grow bigger. Banned in 27 countries (not the U.S.), recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is injected into cows to produce more milk. This alteration of the GMO is made by mixing cow DNA and E. Coli (seriously). These cause infections on the cow making the body produce more milk as the cow is suffering. Cows are suffering just to give us more milk and yet we have not banned this injection. Also, GMO usage can lead to the inability to walk or even stand up in their cages. The animals on factory farms are fed growth hormones which give them a disability to stand up. When the animals grow bigger then they are supposed to, their bones cannot hold the weight which forces them to lay down and the bones sometimes snap. GMO’s given to our food is bad for our health, yet people still eat it. Experts like Sheldon Krimsky, PhD, an adjunct professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts Medical School in Boston says “nearly two dozen studies show bad effects, like harm to the kidneys, liver, heart, and other organs. (http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/truth-about-gmos?page=2). Over 80% of our food (all foods) are injected with GMO’s. In the US, food companies aren't allowed to label if the ingredients have GMOs in them. Therefore, we cannot tell which foods contain these health risks. But, there is a project called the Non-GMO Project which labeled foods that they found did not contain GMO. They have not covered all foods but they are working their way there. GMO’s are not only bad for our

GMOs are what some people say a very large argument between science and ethics. Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are anything that has their DNA altered. What the sticker on the Wheaties box that you had for breakfast this morning that says organic means that there was no alteration to the product. Some reasons why GMOs are not a good idea at all is because what it has done to plants such as weeds. People also find that GMOS are relatively new and science doesn't know the risk of putting genetic mutations in a human body. Because of these two reasons GMOs should be taken out of shops, stores, and our diet.

GMOs are here to save the world. That may sound like a bold statement, but that’s the reality. The reality of the world that we live in now is that the human race needs GMOs. We as humans need a way to feed the populations in the world. We need a way to get medicines to the people who need them the most. There is great work being done to help the development of GMOs that can be used to help starving people and those who are dying of common diseases that other countries have already “wiped out”, and to not share that, is absolutely irresponsible as a nation. We live in a technology based system, and with that technology we are learning and adapting that technology to better help the human race.

GMOS in recent years have become a main stream debate. A debate whether or not they are good or bad for are bodies and the environment. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is an organism material that has been altered to improve the productivity and product quality. This creates genes of a plant, animal, bacteria and viruses that do not occur in nature or normal crossbreeding methods. About 80% of processed food contains GMOs. GMOs have raised concern in whether they are beneficial in helping humans suffering from famine, improve production of food or create greater problems for our health. They have rapidly spread in the production of food and farming. Having food and mass amount of food is important in life but is having mass quantities

Imagine... a virus... It slowly takes control over your body, whittling away at your immune system, poisoning you from the inside. You pass the virus to your children. It can't be stopped! How do you get the virus? It's in 70% of our food! Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are plants that have their DNA structure modified to be immune to pesticides. The farmers can spray whatever pesticides and whatever amount they want on these plants and they will not be harmed. The result of this is your food drenched in pesticides and various chemicals that can cause cancer and countless other ailments. Genetically modified organisms are

People have been genetically modifying food for centuries. Humanity has used selective breeding to utilize desired traits in farm animals and crops for so long that they are now different species from their wild variants. However, scientists have been using a new process for giving organisms desired traits called genetic engineering, which is the process of directly transferring genes from one organism to the next. This process can be used between any two living things, no matter how different they are. Some think that this is the future that will make society flourish, while others think that it is a menace that will damage civilization. I believe that GMOs are more beneficial than harmful. GMOs can provide nutrition to those who live in impoverished

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, which is the process of extracting genes from one species into another unrelated species. The process of transferring DNA from two distinct species is through genetic engineering. This displays the new traits of the first donor, which will be part of the genetic make up of the recipient organism. GMO is different from cross breeding or hybridization. Scientists developed GM plants by introducing genes that kill insects and protect crops against viruses. Many of these GM plants require less water so that they are able to grow in areas where water is scarce. The benefit of GMOs help crops grows and ripens faster so that farmers are able to grow more crops throughout the year. On the other hand, GMOs may be harmful to humans if they are not washed and cleaned properly before eating. GMOs include high risk of allergens, toxins, and other unknown side effects that are harmful.

A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. These GMOs are many of the commercialized crops in the U.S. and provide many health benefits to all who consume it. For example, they increase the nutrients in food, in this case rice. “By inserting a gene that encodes for vitamin A to the gene of regular rice, scientists were able to create a new breed of rice plants called “Golden Rice”.” This is just one of the many ways GMOs can enrich one’s diet and make foods better for your health. Additionally, GMOs are now easier to grow and preserve. Through genetic engineering, crops have been encoded to resist rotting and produce toxins to deter insects. This reduces the cost of farming and maintaining plants and reduces the chance of crops being destroyed due to spoiling or insects. If this technology
