Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, are created when a gene from one organism artificially changed through genetic engineering. By adding DNA from one plant, bacteria, or virus, the original organism will inherit its new attributes. Scientists created GMO’s seize parts of DNA from different kinds of organisms and attempt to intertwine them together to create a new, better product. Genetically modified organisms are unhealthy and should be banned. Several nations consider GMOs to be unsafe. Countries around the world including Japan, Australia, France, China, India and other regions are restricted and/or prohibited to consume or plant genetically modified organisms. The United States government has authorized

They decrease biodiversity and pollute water resources. Roundup herbicide has been shown to cause birth defects in amphibians, embryonic deaths, and organ damage in animals, even at very low quantities. GMOs negatively affect the environment. The toxicity is a huge issue surrounding chemical pesticides and herbicides, used with GMOs. GMOs may be toxic to organisms such as, bees and butterflies. Bees are very important in the pollination of many food crops, but are unfortunately extremely endangered due to genetically modified crops. In addition to bees and butterflies, birds are also at risk from pesticides. ___ _ _____ __ ______Many companies promise us that these foods are safe for consumption, and yet they have not tested it yet. Taking into consideration that as these new DNA sequences reproduce, any new mutations could cause large consequences for either the plants or the consumer. Companies are not required to label their foods to tell the consumer if it contains GMOs or not. Genetically modifying organisms can make them have new traits like resistance to bugs, diseases, droughts and even increasing their shelf life. _____Genetically Modified Organisms are created when a gene is artificially changed from one organism through genetic engineering, giving it new attributes.This is done in attempt to create a better, new product.GMOs lead to harmful effect including triggering allergies and affecting farmers crops. This product that is created is unnatural and unhealthy should be avoided if
