Gmos Are Harmful To Animals

In the discussion of modern agriculture and biotechnology, one controversial issue has been the production of genetically modified organism (GMOs). On the one hand some people argue that GMOs are harmful to animals, the environment and for human consumption. On the other hand, some people contends that GMOs are not at all harmful to humans, animals and the environment. Others even maintain that GMOs are an improvement to the production of crops. My own view is that GMOs are absolutely not a harm to our health and they definitely improve the production of crops, they are the most effective way to make the crops immune and resistant to plagues, droughts and herbicides. I agree that GMOs are not hazard to humans or animals because as new studies

more healthy and enriched on nutrients and proteins. All of that is achieved by transferring genes from other plants that contain traits that can help that plant produce more proteins and nutrients. In the article “GMOs play important role on food security, nutrition” Dr. Milton Stokes states that “scientist have demonstrated that genetic modification can be used to increase the amount and stability of crop’s nutrient levels such as provitamin A, iron and zinc” (Reganit). Dr. Stokes’ point is that with these new advances in biotechnology scientist can make vegetables, fruits and any crops a lot healthier. This is proof that GMOs are definitely not a hazard to anyone. Of course, some will probably disagree on the grounds that by putting genes from different plants together could be highly risky for those that have food allergies because they could be eating something they’re allergic to without even knowing. On the one hand, I agree that unexpected food allergy reactions could be a possibility. But on the other hand, I still insist that there isn’t any scientific evidence that could reinforce that
