Many American’s are concerned for the farmers‚ the environment‚ and the potential health risks of GMOs and are demanding more studies and tests be done before allowing these organisms to be consumed. People around the world have protested for the right to safe food‚ however‚ nothing

“The preferred approach of the industry has been to use compositional comparisons between GMO and non-GMO crops. When they are not significantly different the two are regarded as “substantially equivalent‚” and‚ therefore‚ the GMO food crop is regarded as safe as its conventional counterpart (Arpad‚ 2001).” When genetically engineered bacteria was thought to enhance the hormones in cows and provide increased

As the production of agriculture evolves‚ so does the research of developing genetic engineered foods‚ which are funded and created by large corporations. A prominent example of a corporation that supports and emanates a large amount of funds towards genetically modified foods‚ is Monsanto. Monsanto uses their funds towards biotechnology‚ which is the abuse of biological processes‚ for industrial use like genetic engineering. In this process‚ genetic engineers are able to produce the seeds that Monsanto

According to Britanny Shoot (2009)‚ “the governmental and industry opposition to mandatory labeling has long been rooted in several arguments:” that production cost would be rapidly raised by labeling because of other monitoring of facilities; “that GM labels will signal safety or nutritional problems for consumers only accustomed to seeing

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Nature‚ Science and Moral Autonomy Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and genetically modified foods (GM foods) have become a highly contested topic in public debate. The controversies are the result of differing views from scientists‚ philosophers‚ economists‚ and even politicians concerning the products of “new biotechnology” in particular with regard to recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. rDNA technology has allowed scientists to move genes across species’
