Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is one of the most important issues from around the world. GMOs are special organisms in which the genetic material has been altered for improvement productivity and product quality. GMOs have raised awareness about their products and their benefits to the world‚ such as‚ they are resistant to disease‚ help humans suffering from famine‚ produce greater yields and improve the nutrition of foods. Having foods is very important to human life to maintain good health

Is GE of humans likely? For plants like Roundup Ready soybeans and animals like the cats above‚ the technology already exists and is in actual use to some extent. For humans‚ Fukuyama seems to believe that it can occur as soon as the main obstacles are overcome. One main obstacle is the complexity of the relationship between DNA and human traits. Will we ever know which genes influence intelligence and master how to manipulate them? However‚ as computer technology and understanding of genetic

I found this documentary to be very interesting because it tells you about genetically modified organisms and the damages it can do to humans‚ animals and our environment. This documentary tells you that the companies that produce the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are more interested in making money than worrying about the consequences of it making humans sick‚ killing

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create
