GMO’s are a diverse group of different plants, animals, and bacteria that all have been engineered in different ways. All GMO’s have been created for a variety of reasons. GMO’s have been getting a lot of speculation as to what are the positives and negatives but the main enquiry is about the effect they have on our health. GMO’s have been entering our food supplies, mainly in the form of plants but there haven’t been many recorded dangers or harmful side effects. Many people are afraid of scientists tampering and modifying their food because they are not fully aware of what GMO’s can do, they think that we are at risk. There have been a few cases of harmful outcomes due to GMO’s, but GMO’s help people in numerous ways. So a question we

We have to be careful of what we do with GMO’s. In the USA plant GMO’s have been allowed. In Europe GMO’s are restricted, for example certain GMO’s have been allowed but have to be labelled. One thing for certain is that GMO’s are the future and they have the capability to boost many things, for example the economy. If these crops are becoming more withstandable and better value, in the long run it will help the economy as there will be less wastage and ruined crops. Right now GMO’s cost a lot to produce safely. Firstly they have to be tested on and created through vigorous research. Those processes cost a lot of money so these seeds will be considerably more expensive than regular seeds. With where we are at the moment with GMO’s, it may not benefit the economy because the costs are high, and right now the benefits aren’t equally as high. In the future when GMO’s get more and more popular a problem might occur with small farmers and LIC’s because they won’t have the resources or money to afford to plant GMOs ahead of regular seeds. This could increase the gap even further between rich and poor. Ideally you would hope that GMO’s would help the poorer countries and small farmers, affected by ruined crops, who need the money more than the large TNCs or powerful
