GMOs: a Scourge or a Blessing? “We are what we eat.” Everyone has heard this famous quote or a variation of it‚ but what do we actually eat? Over the past years a new type of food called Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) has flooded the food market. This new type of food is designed to better resist the climate and to contain more vitamins and minerals for the consumer‚ yet the debate is still ongoing: are GMOs harmful or helpful? The following text will present both sides of the argument: the

A gene from the Brazil nut was inserted into the DNA of a soybean plant to increase the nutritional value of the soybean. However‚ this particular gene in the GM soybean also produced an allergen (a substance that causes allergic reactions in people). Fortunately‚ the plant was not put into production (McHughen 119). Another example is of a GM tomato called

Though we’ve altered plants since our discovery of agricultural domestication‚ up until recently their genetic composition has remained relatively the same. Starting in the mid 1990’s scientists have developed methods in which they can take specific genes from one organism and place them in another to reach a desired goal‚ such as insect resistant produce. Though‚ on it’s own genetically modified organisms may not solve the problem

The type of GMOs that have caused people to fear they are not safe is produced by genetic engineering and selective breeding. This method is obviously done in a laboratory by splicing together genetic material. We have been told this GMOs reduces the need to plow

The APA Ethics Code has a long list of general ethical principles. For example‚ the American Psychological Association’s Ethics Code is only for people in the United States. It

The Non- GMO Project is also working on a system for labeling products that aren’t genetically enhanced” (Clendaniel).
