Pathos In William Saletan's Are Gmos Safe?

In William Saletan’s “Are GMOs Safe? Yes. The case against them is full of lies, fraud and errors”, the truth about GMOs is discussed and explored. In his argument Saletan effectively uses pathos, ethos, and logos. To accomplish this, he lists the many incredibly applications of GMOs (logos), tells the story of the Golden Rice GMO (pathos), and speaks of the research he put into his work (ethos).
In Saletan’s work we read that “the USDA’s catalog of recently engineered plants shows plenty of worthwhile GMO options, (yet people still oppose these brilliant plant modifications). The list of potential GMOs includes drought-tolerant corn, virus-resistant plums, non-browning apples (you will soon have access to this GMO), potatoes with fewer natural toxins, and soybeans that produce less
One of the greatest examples of logos in his argument is when he tells the story of the Golden Rice GMO. Saletan wrote: “Right now, across the world, a quarter of a billion preschool-age children are suffering from vitamin A deficiency. Every year, 250,000 to 500,000 of these kids go blind. Within a year, half of the blinded children will die. Much of the affliction is in Southeast Asia, where people rely on rice for their nutrition. Unfortunately, rice doesn’t have enough beta carotene—the compound that, when digested, produces vitamin A. About twenty-five years ago, a team of scientists set out to solve this problem. Their plan was to engineer a new kind of rice that would make beta carotene. (Make a GMO that caused rice to produce Vitamin A) This was a sustainable solution. It would use biotechnology to prevent suffering, disability, and death. In 1999, they created the world’s first beta carotene rice by transferring genes from both daffodils and bacteria. The yellow grains became known as “Golden Rice.” (Saletan) Clearly, GMOs can better the lives of
