We live in a world that is constantly changing and advancing thanks to technological advancements, especially in the field of molecular genetics. Today, we are discovering and implementing new ways to overcome the ill-fated symptoms developed as a result from poor health or accidents. We are also making advancements in the field of agriculture thanks to molecular genetics. As we all know, food is an essential habit in our lives and is abundant as well as relatively easy to obtain here in the Canada. However, as good as it may sound, this is not necessarily true for developing countries. Many people in developing countries receive very little food, if any, due to its coast. It is estimated that in Asia alone, close to 800 million people go to bed hungry every night due to food shortage. This problem can be alleviated by turning to the production of genetically modified organisms (a.k.a. GMOs).
Genetically modified organisms can be plants or animals that have been genetically altered.
Genetically modified organisms can be indeed beneficial to all occupants of this world. Consuming GMOs will not lead to the production of horns on our heads or make us grow tails. ed to produce or express a desired characteristic or trait. It is in fact that their fears are based on hysteria and ignorance. By genetically altering organisms such as crops, we can eliminate the use of pesticides by making the crops resistant to insects. GMOs will save many and provide a better life for those who are less fortunate. Many believe that GMOs will lead to ill-fated consequences after being consumed. The bottom line is that, genetically modified organisms will increase food production. What do you think the first thought will cross a person’s mind when his/her stomach aches for food? Will he/she choose not to eat because of their fears or will he/she relieve their stomach pain and choose to eat? The only was we will know how to answer this question in truth is to be put in that...
