The Potential Risk of Genetically Modified Organisms Since 1982,” Genetically Modified Organisms have been used in our foods. These “Genetically Modified Organisms are a result of a laboratory process where genes from DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of unrelated animals or humans” (Smith). In other words, Genetically Modified Organisms are harmful for our society and should have never been introduced to our world. Have you ever wondered how our food is…

Would a person knowingly feed their family foods that are not safe for them, no! Foods should be left natural with no genetically modified organism (GMO). These are not natural and therefore is not healthy for the human body. The environment is being affected by processed foods that people are not aware of being processed, due to them not being labeled. It is destroying the society and human beings. There are not enough studies showing they are safe, they are not beneficial for the human body,…

to view and analyze the genetic makeup of organisms. With this ability, scientists can change the genes of an organism by transferring genes from another organism, modifying the organism 's traits to meet needs. Much debate exists on whether or not genetically modified organisms are harmful to humans and the environment. Genetic modification dates back to almost 11,000 years ago. As stated in the article, Deconstructing 'genetically modified organisms ': academic discourse on 'GMOs ' and its…

changed the way of living. In the world that we live in today, Genetically Modified Organisms has taken over mostly everything within our community ranging from plants, animals, as science advances. Even though this technique has been used for years, recent concerns about the health of humans has stirred up and has created a major controversial issue. Multiple tests have been ran to ensure the safety of these organisms, however, there still seem to be some doubts and reasons for wanting the stop…

According to the Non GMO Project, GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, are "living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering.” This generally new science makes insecure blends of plant, animal, bacterial and viral qualities that don't happen in nature or through typical cross-mating systems. Evidence continually draws a connection between GMOs and health issues, ecological threat, and infringement of farmers' and customers'…

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)? A Genetically Modified Organism is an organism that has been modified genetically to make the organism better or invunerable to certain weather, insects or anything that can harm the plant in general, This practice is most common in plants such as: Corn, Soy, Canola, and even more fruits, vegetables and plants that the average person consumes almost every day. But there are many people that don't agree with the distribution of Genetically Modified…

A genetically modified organism or GMO is any organism whose had its genetic material altered using genetic engineering techniques. We humans have been using selective breeding or artificial selection for a very long time. This process takes the desired traits of an organism and breeds them whilst weeding out the organisms lacking the desired trait are not bred. This was the precursor to what we now call genetic modification. In 1973, Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen created the first genetically…

Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically Modified Organisms, (GMO), definitely raises some concerns when it comes to health and if it is actually safe to consume, since the US still allows the use of GMO, we should at least be aware of which foods contain it and which ones don't. We as the consumers should have the right to decide what we put in our bodies and especially know exactly what ingredients are in the foods we are buying. I certainly don’t want to be feeding my children and my family…

First, genetically modified organisms have been used in the food process for quite some time now. They have grown to be very popular, very quickly. In the article, “The State of Science”, the author Stuart Newman, comments that “Some critics suggested that the quality and safety of fruits and vegetables could be impaired, making them allergenic or toxic to humans” (Newman, 2013, p. 24). Worries of the food becoming toxic, or allergenic to humans arose, but regardless, the discovery of GMO’s came…

GMOs have the potential to do multiple things. For those of you that may not know GMOS (or Genetically modified organisms) are organisms that have been created through gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). They are a safe way to slow down pollution and use less land in crop production. GMOs also provide many health benefits, and could also be a leading cause in ending world hunger. Currently many people are opposing GMOs because GMOs are a relatively…
