What Are The Pros And Cons For Humans And The Environment

Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology Although GMOs have been around for many years, it wasn’t until just recently that people have become more concerned with them. However, many companies that produce genetically modified organisms, like Monsanto, try to make believe that the products they produce are healthy and beneficial for the environment; while that may be true first glance, lots of anti gmo activists believe that these companies scam people into believing false information. In this essay, we will uncover the pros and cons of these genetically modified organisms and ultimately, come to the conclusion that GMOs may have downfalls for humans and the environment, but are economically beneficial.
One of the pros of genetically modified organisms is how cheap the outcome is. Take the GMO based company, Monsanto, for example. The sole purpose of this big name company is to produce an unbelievable amount of seeds, genetically modified of course, and ship them to places with food insecurity. These places include third world countries like much of Africa which suffer from chronic hunger. Monsanto is the answer to these third world companies – their mission is to put a stop to world hunger with the production of these GMO seeds. This all comes back around to the advancement of science. Without science, there would be no possible way to produce so many seeds – with GMOs, scientists are able to cut the time it would take to produce these seeds
