While many countries and even individual states within the U.S. have acknowledged their danger‚ the country as a whole has yet to place any restrictions on GMOs. Genetically modified organisms contribute to a variety of health-related issues

Genetically modified organisms‚ also known as “Proposition 37‚” had contaminated the food supply. “A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced in the genes of an unrelated plant or animal” (Seeds of Deception). The results had no health benefits

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
