The Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Organisms Genetic Engineering has been around since the 1970’s‚ but the process has become more complicated and ambiguous over time. A genetically modified organism‚ or GMO‚ is a plant‚ animal‚ or microorganism that has been produced to overcome any natural restrictions (Happiness). It encompasses eradicating the DNA‚ manipulating it‚ and then reinserting it into the original or alternative organism (Executive). Although GMO’s have some benefits‚ their

How would you feel if I told you that the food you’re eating was made in a science lab? Genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are the outcome of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially manipulated into the genes of an uncorrelated plant or animal. Crops are often genetically modified to be resistant to pesticides so farmers would be able to spray them without harming the crop itself. However‚ there are many consequences regarding consumers’
