GM salmon‚ on the other hand‚ not only will grow faster but also should reach about twice the size of its wild cousin. The creators of the GM salmon‚ a private company called AquaBounty‚ promises to harvest the salmon before it reaches its full size‚ thus preventing "giant" versions [source: Discover Magazine]. The GM salmon‚ known as AquAdvantage

As for human health‚ the concerns for safety‚ allergenicity‚ toxicity‚ carcinogenicity‚ and altered nutritional quality of food are controversial.

The 21st century has presented a major set of converging threats as the pressures of population growth‚ climate change and food insecurity are driving the world towards worsening hunger and malnutrition. Many people argue that Genetically Modified (GM) crops are promoted as a ‘Miracle Solution’ to solve the food shortage crisis since the use of genetic engineering enables genetic materials to be modified and in turn creates new varieties that exhibit desirable characteristics such as resistant to

The Help of GM Crops Norman Borlaug was one of the most influential individuals that no one has ever heard of. His genetic research in Mexico‚ India‚ and Pakistan led to the creation of disease resistant‚ high-yield crops that saved more lives from starvation than the number of those lost in both world wars combined. His pioneering work earned him a Nobel prize in 1970 along with the title‚ “The Man Who Saved a Billion Lives” (Wilson). Scientists have since expanded his research into the field of

board of directors of General Motors‚ under the leadership of outside director John G. Smale‚ instituted a revolt against the company’s top management team. Horrified by GM’s recent $4.5 billion loss and angry at the slow pace of change instituted by GM chairman and chief executive officer Robert Stempel‚ the board decided to teach GM’s top management a lesson. Stampel lost his leadership of the board’s executive committee (GM’s top policy-making committee) to Smale‚ who effectively became his overseer
