Gmo Cons

Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are basically organisms that have been altered for the betterment of the consumer. Creations such as man-made insulin, seedless watermelon and iodine-enriched salt are all possible because of genetic engineering. Furthermore, this technology has allowed the creation of larger animals and crops. This allows produce and poultry to be cheaper. Scientists known as Agri-Scientists create GMOs. Although GMOs are made to make a better consumer product, there are many debates on whether GMOs are safe. Countries such as the United States. may have heated debates about whether GMOs are safe for the environment and human health. But many third world countries such as Bangladesh and Zimbabwe can largely

Despite the negatives of GMOs there are far too many beneficial advantages that GMOs potentially could bring to the table. GMOs have many positive aspects that can tackle many problems the world is facing right now such as world hunger and human malnourishment.

Not only that but GMOs can also solve the agricultural problems the world faces today such as soil salinity. Even though there are countless benefits to GMOs few disadvantages exist that can be simply overlooked since they are clearly under-weighed by the various advantages GMOs
