This article is about General Motors Co who has delayed for almost a decade in changing the switch used in their cars‚ which eventually lead to the deaths of at least 13 people. Initially‚ GM had failed to address this switch problem due to the additional costs. Replacing the switch would cost an extra 90 cents per unit as well as additional tooling costs of $400‚000. Supply is the willingness and ability of producers to provide a good or service at a given price in a given time period. The increase

plant genes can cause many health dilemmas. In an experiment‚ several hamsters were fed GM soy‚ some produced tumours in their testicles and many experienced fertility problems (Mount‚ 2012). Another study concluded that a gene inserted in cows releases a chemical hormone in their milk that causes humans to have a 4 times higher risk of breast cancer (Batalion‚ 2009). Likewise‚ many Americans that were affected by a GM version of a dietary supplement called L-tryptophan caused 37 deaths and 1500 disabled

The recent acts of activists intent on destruction of research plots included plants altered by molecular as well as classical genetic techniques. Is it possible to distinguish between plants altered by classical genetics and those altered by modern techniques? If it is possible‚ how is it done? If you have a DNA lab‚ then you could check: many GM crops will have other genes which have been
