GENETIC MODIFIED FOODS: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Nataliya Mogilna‚ Alex Magufwa Sumy State University‚ Sumy‚ Ukraine What are genetically-modified foods? "Genetically modified foods" is the term most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or ani mal consumption‚ which have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding‚ but conventional plant

The Term "Genetically Modified (GM) foods" refers to crops produced for human or animal consumption using the recombinant DNA techniques. The world population is growing in a fast pace such that it is expected to double in the next 50 years. Supplying food to this growing population is a major challenge. GM foods can be considered as the major solution for the food security. These foods are produced by the modification of crop plants in the laboratory to enhance desired traits‚ mainly biotic and

Science‚ chemical and big name companies had done hazardous experiments with the consumers food without the world’s communities approval and it still continues today. Genetically modified organisms‚ also known as “Proposition 37‚” had contaminated the food supply. “A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced in the genes of an unrelated plant or animal” (Seeds of Deception). The results had

What are Genetically Modified Foods? Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) are organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally (man made). The process is called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”‚ or “genetic engineering”. These methods are applied to nearly any boxed or package food that you have eaten. Why do we use them? GM foods are developed – and marketed – because there is some perceived advantage either to the producer or

Genetically- Modified Foods and Ingredients (Speech to Inform) Visiting a supermarket has become a usual experience of each one of us. We have to read all the labels that warn us against genetically-modified ingredients and its expiry date. I‚ try myself to calm down that epidemic services take control over dangerous products. Yet‚ I have my doubts in eating my favorite snack‚ French fries that is done in a fast food. The cumulative effect of genetically-modified foods is particularly dangerous

have food security and not scarcity; in fact‚ a solution already exists in genetically modified foods. Genetically modified foods are adjusted to have more desirable properties by methods such as extracting DNA from one creature and inserting it into a food to give a certain characteristic. Despite the obvious benefit that this can provide‚ many Americans incorrectly believe that there is some need to regulate such foods. Despite those opinions‚ the United States should not regulate genetically modified

He portrays his many reasons as to why it is ethically justifiable to pursue genetically modified crops and foods through intrinsic and extrinsic objections‚ theories (Rights‚ Utilitarian‚ Virtue) and via technology going deeper in explaining his reasons using experiments and the precautionary response. I agree with Comstock and defend his reasons in concluding that it is ethically justifiable to pursue genetically modified crops and foods. Potential harms

Benefits of Genetically Modified Foods In today’s day and age‚ it seems like technology is getting more advanced by the day. Because of this technology‚ many high income countries such as America now have the ability to mass produce food as well as to genetically modify it to enhance the size‚ flavor‚ and appearance. While mass production of food may sound like an easy solution to sustain the constantly increasing global population‚ many people do not appreciate how dependent food production is

Eliminating Genetically Modified Food at PLU What comes to mind when reading the words genetic modification or Bacillus thurigiensis (abbreviated Bt)? I envision laboratories and science experiments‚ when in reality these words are related to the food we eat every day. What most Americans do not know is the threat that genetically modified food presents to our communities. PLU should do everything in its power to ensure that its students and faculty members are not exposed to genetically modified
