GMOS Cons

Another progressive outcome of GMOS, may be the end to world hunger. With the advanced growth and extreme output rate of the GMOS, many question whether these advanced crops may be able to feed the world’s starving. With the combined trait of herbicide-tolerance and sustainable large food production, pest consumption of crops could be cut down, and therefore more people fed. Some studies suggest that with the use of GMOS, 20,000 more people a year could be fed than otherwise wouldn’t have had the product. Although that doesn’t seem large now, over time the number would grow and the effects would be felt. Some scientists even believe that the fear of GMOS is more detrimental to the progress of farming than anything the GMOS actually accomplish. Supposive “fear mongering” and the idea of what technology might be able to accomplish is the reason that many anti-GMO activists argue against GMOS, but nothing that really can be proven by science. …show more content…
Whether it be how to end world hunger or prevent the destruction of our world’s ground water with harmful pesticides, GMOS seem to hold the answer. With no true scientific evidence to back up the claim the GMOS may be more harmful to the environment than helpful, why should this technology that could help so many be stopped. GMOS are the future, and if we are to ever fix these issues, it seems they really are the
