Throughout the advancing technology of today‚ human culture is becoming revolutionary with science and all of its components. Genetically modifying foods presents positive opportunities in agriculture and human health. Furthermore‚ more scientifically advanced modifications that select genetically superior plants‚ have enhanced the yield of crops‚ improved storability‚ and increased disease resistance. To simply remove genes from one organism and transfer them to another is generally harmless if

Pro Genetically Modified Foods We must have science to make medicine. All of us have been to the doctor to get medicine at least once in their lives. Think about how many people would die each year if it weren’t for modern day medicine; a lot‚ right? So it’s safe to say that some of us trust in medicine but not the science of genetically modifying foods? Believe it or not‚ genetically modifying foods has been around for thousands of years. “About 8‚000 years ago‚ for example‚ farmers in Central

Genetically modified food products are a major product innovation. GMOs are simply the modern version of farming techniques used for centuries (Rich‚ 2004). The main goal of the Africa Rice Center is to alleviate poverty and food scarcity by using research‚ development‚ and partnerships to increase rice production and profitability in Africa (Thorne‚ Ferrell‚ & Ferrell‚ 2011). GMO crops could be the solution to helping Africa feed the population. Although there is lots of controversy surrounding

Many people consume engineered foods; particularly the North America and China. GMFs (Genetically Modified Food) have faced strong opposition. The anti-GMFs argue that modification of original organism composition does not improve the current status of the organisms. However‚ it generates dangerous side effects and yields toxic substances that could result in allergies‚ stomach problems‚ diseases and economic and environmental fears. People concern on the safety of food became pronounced before the
