Introduction:
Only those genetically modified foods are approved for use, which is fit for consumption and has no possible side-effects or negative impact on human health. GM crops have a major contribution to agribusiness, farmer’s life, and changing the crop quality.

Each time, you must answer Yes or No to that question, and each time, depending on how you responded, you will be presented with a new counterargument meant to challenge your stance. Thus, this feature presents six arguments for growing GM crops and six against, but whenever you answer yes or no, you will only see one side of the argument -- the one meant to challenge your position. However, before answering the question for the seventh and final time, you will be shown all 12 arguments for and against.
