Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been around for many years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO);
“Genetically Modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants, but in the future foods derived from microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield, through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or increased tolerance to herbicides.
In the future, genetic modification could be aimed at altering the nutrient content of food, reducing its allergenic potential, or improving the efficiency of food production systems. All GM foods should be assessed before being allowed on the market. FAO/WHO Codex guide exists for risk analysis of GM food.(WHO).”
The topics that may be up for debate for this topic may involve; what sort of immorality comes with modifying something that has been the way it has for thousands of years? What sort of world problems does the applications of GMOs help solve? what problems may have been due to the introduction of GMOs? If you haven’t already, please be sure to read the blog guidelines before blogging to ensure clean accurate data. The link below is where I pulled the above information from (WHO).
