HGH for Humans Like GMO’s for Food?
I chose an article on GMO’s more commonly known as genetically modified organism commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. The article was called Harmful or Helpful by Deborah B. Whitman; she has a B.S. in biology and an M.S. in biotechnology. Whitman attended a meeting in 1999 in Washington D.C. this meeting was to solicit public opinions on what actions should be taken for a new regulatory procedure for government approval of GM foods. (3) This article was released in April of 2000 so it’s a little out dated but it still has a lot of valuable information which are still relevant today many topics that are in this article that people are still arguing over and many of the topics in here people still lie unresolved. Whitman has great credentials in this area and seems to have a great understanding about GMO’s. GMO’s have pros and cons to Whitman has talks about which are still very much up too debate weather one outweighs the other.
The world population is at an astounding six billion people and it’s predicted that it is going to double in the next fifty years. Ensuring an adequate food supply for this booming population is going to be a major challenge in the years to come. There are both positives and negatives from using genetically modified foods on the body and on the environment. (Whitman)
The surprising thing to me is that there are so many different ways that GMO’s can be manipulated by scientists. Whitman pros to GMO’s are that they create seeds that can fight off pest resistance, control Herbicide tolerance. They can create a seed that’s immune to disease, and can stay alive in cold weather which it never could handle before. GMO creators have even figured out how to create a seed that contains vitamins and nutrients that could stop malnutrition. (4-17) it’s pretty crazy how scientists can create such a
