Genetically Modified Organisms have benefits
"All the food we eat - every grain of rice and kernel of corn - has been genetically modified. None of it was here before humankind learned to cultivate crops. The question isn't whether our food has been modified, but how." - Michael Specter. This quote leaves us thinking, and a lot, because we tend to believe that everything we eat is organic and it hasn't been modified by any means. Genetically Modified Organisms refers to plants or animals with an altered genetic makeup that has been changed in a laboratory to put genes of one organism into another organism. Throughout the years there has been a great debate if Genetic Organisms are safe or they put in danger, other discussion about if Genetically …show more content…
According to some studies in many organizations 70% or more of all processed foods sold to consumers now contain genetically modified ingredients. As I said before sometimes, we tend to believe that we are eating organic foods, but in some cases, the foods that are labeled with the organic label contain genetically modified ingredients. For centuries, farmers have looked up to grow plants or breed animals with fascinating characteristics. Farmers chose the seed from their best plants to develop the future generation, and have a guaranteed success. So here is where we ask ourselves why farmers decide to modify their crops if they choose the best plant seeds to grow new ones, mainly is because they want more success and they want a better product. Some examples of GMO foods is the Roundup Ready Corn, soy, alfalfa, canola, cotton, and sorghum. GMO safety is debated everywhere. The creators of products containing GMOs say the organisms are safe, and the government agencies uncharged of this agree with the idea that GMOs are safe, but some consumers of GMOs say that they cause allergies, and they can be lethal. According to this organisms with GMOs don't have any …show more content…
In reproductive cloning, a nucleus is extracted from a cell of organisms to be cloned, and the nucleus is placed in the cytoplasm that is the host of the egg. The result of this genetic cloning is an offspring that us genetically identical to the parent organism. The first animal that is produced by cloning was created with the nucleus in the cytoplasm technique this was a sheep named Dolly, which was born in 1996. Since Dolly was created more animals including pigs, dog, and horses have been genetically modified. Dolly was part of a series of experiments at The Roslin Institute that was trying to develop a better method for producing genetically modified herd. If this experiment turned to be successful, this means that they will stop using animals to make this types of experiments. Scientists such as Roslin also wanted to learn ore about how cells changed during the development and wanted to study more about specialized cells, like the ones in the skin or brain cells, could be used to make a new
