GMO Persuasive Research Paper

Since the beginning of time, the human race has attempted to perfect our lives, constantly adapting, and learning, and changing our environment to suit our needs. we have been changing the world dramatically in a large variety of environments from the atmosphere to the rainforests, and soil in which the trees grow. Up to this point we have been manipulating our environment in nearly any way we can imagine, making ourselves the dominant race on the earth, but perhaps we should be aware of how far we are going. Currently humanity attempts to meddle with the very material that makes all that lives what it is, their DNA or genetic makeup. This is a very serious area of science that we are beginning to dive into, Because of the severity of tampering with the genetic makeup of nature, we must bring to attention the question: To what extent is it ethical to continue the use of GMOs for the betterment of society, and the progression of the human race considering the risks?
The fact that using GMOs is becoming increasingly harder to avoid, many consumer groups worry that as new GM plants are created the price of seeds will increase exponentially, leaving small scale farm companies and farmers in developing countries no way to afford such varieties of crops. In this way the divide between the upper and lower classes will increase significantly. Farmers such as that of the “Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser” are also under fire as they may not even be purposely using the seeds or pesticides that are under a patent but have been sent to court by the company Monsanto for the genetically modified plants somehow making their way into the farms of the farmers through pollination and other natural
