Short Essay 2: Genetically Modified Organism Debate A genetically modified organism is used to refer an organism whose genetic material has been changed by genetic engineering techniques‚ which cut and combine DNA molecules from different organism into one molecule (Wikipedia‚ 2012). This way‚ scientists can give it new characteristics that people desire but do not have normally. Since the benefits brought by genetically modified organism are extremely obviously‚ such as lower

Some experts even state that‚ not only are they beneficial‚ but that they also protect the environment and aid food productivity. Most farmers actually recommend GMO’s because they are easier to grow‚ maintain‚ and tend to be more profitable; however‚ countless other experts have come to realize that GMO foods are untested‚ unsafe‚ and unhealthy.

Modification (GM) or Genetic Engineering (GE) is the process of manipulating genomes from an organism‚ such as plants and animals‚ to another using the techniques of biotechnology. Genetic modified foods are created from the procedures of genetic engineering and play an important role in the society’s lifestyle. GM foods can be both beneficial and disadvantageous to the society and environment. It can be advantageous as it can improve agricultural production‚ help improve nutrition in the body and also

Genetically modified Papayas started back in 1990 in Hawaii when the entire crop was infected with the ringspot virus‚ the entire papaya industry was in danger. More than 8 million papayas are sold globally and come from tropic and sub-tropic regions. Papayas are loved by many consumers‚ while others consider them to smell like feces and have a bitter taste.

“Labeling of Genetically Modified Food Products” Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs were first introduced into Americas’ food supply in 1996‚ and there were 7 million acres of crops worldwide that were using GMO seeds. As of 2004‚ the crop size worldwide that uses GMO seeds had grown to 222 million acres with approximately 63% of those in the United States alone (253).

This means they undergo a certain forced process where they are introduced to bacteria and viruses to receive different traits to resist diseases or the tolerance of pesticides. GMO crops have been in the news for a very long time and it’s safe to say there are some pretty heated arguments about the topic. These foods that have been introduced to GMO have been tested with the World Health Organization and humans are safe to consume them. All living
