Debate for: Why GMO’s Should be Banned in Canada Opening Statement: Today we are here to discuss why “GMOs should be banned in Canada”‚ and the rest of the world as a matter of fact. Def/Explanation: Firstly‚ GMO is an acronym for Genetically Modified Organisms. What this concept is can be briefly explained by the following analogy. Suppose I take Iman* and Ibrahim* to take part in a science experiment. I take some of Iman’s genes‚ duplicate it and put it in Ibrahim’s body. Then I present Ibrahim

suffer from developmental disorders” (Ferrie 13). This epidemic stems from the fact that GMOs are detrimental to nature and humanity because they destroy ecosystems‚ cause illnesses in humans‚ and spread their genes to organisms that has not yet been modified genetically. One of the most important ways that GMOs hurt nature is by reproducing with non-genetically modified organisms. When GMOs reproduce with non-GMOs‚ the modified genes are transferred to their offspring. Because of this‚ more species

India when it comes to GMOs (genetically-modified organisms). The report’s release late last month came days before biotech giant Monsanto decided not to submit any further applications for GMOs to the European Union; a decision forced by non-acceptance on scientific grounds and rejection by civil society. Remarkable consensus The TEC Final Report (FR) is the fourth official report which exposes the lack of integrity‚ independence and scientific expertise in assessing GMO risk. It is the third

Obviously‚ we can’t live without it‚ but food is also a main cause of poison to harm our health. In the United States‚ most Americans consume genetically modified food as daily meals. According to the World Health Organization‚ genetically modified foods (GMOs) used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved

boundaries with a technology called genetic modification. Genetic modification creates genetically modified organisms (GMO). According to Dr. Arne Holst-Jensen‚ “GMO is a living organism whose genetic composition has been altered by means of gene technology”. That means a piece of DNA and/or synthetic combination of smaller pieces of DNA are placed into the genome of organism being modified. GMOs have been used for pest control and disease resistance‚ to increase yield of crops‚ and to add extra nutritional

Non-GMO crops are significantly more affected by pests‚ as traditional crop breeding is limited by the time taken to move resistance traits into crop genetic backgrounds and has limited gene pools in which to search for novel resistance.ii Furthermore‚ resistance

These claims have led to a massive increase in commercial growing of genetically modified organisms‚ (GMOs) from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 58.1 million hectares in 2002 worldwide. 99% of this growth has only been in four countries; Argentina‚ Canada‚ China and the USA‚ the USA being the largest‚ producing 68%.
