Gods is how humankind should be referenced, we rule the world and control the future of planet Earth, we started by splitting the atom and have moved to altering Earth 's organisms’ genetic structure in ways that would have taken millions of years of cross breeding to develop such traits “naturally.” Genetic engineering is a relatively new science, with the first DNA of different organism spliced together in 1973 and the first patent for a GM product approved in 1980, there has not been enough time to conduct multiple long term studies that can help determine the assurance on whether there are effects from consuming GMOs or not (Kowalski 12). There is a huge controversy on whether it is ethical and healthy to modify organisms and letting people consume these

Insulin originally was isolated from cows and pigs that were slaughtered for food. This method was inefficient and caused some patients to develop allergies” (Shama 28). Insulin is a widely used pharmaceutical and with out it millions of people would have died over the years.
Golden rice is another GM product that has shown promise in helping end malnutrition by “Providing those children with vitamin A could prevent about a third of all under-five deaths, which amounts to up to
2.7 million children that could be saved from dying unnecessarily”
(Mayer). It is true that biodiversity is affected by GMOs but there is barely any change from using non GMO species but with a great amount of pesticide, it still creates super pest.
Even though there are temporary solutions by using GM organisms, it is a high risk activity with unknown results. GMOs have been proven to have beneficiary uses with nutrients and medicine. But in the
