Should Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Be Grown? (Debate Material for cons group)
I myself crearly state that GMO shouldn’t be grown because it makes more harm than good. Definition Genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the production of desired biological products. In conventional livestock production, crop farming, and even pet breeding, it has long been the practice to breed select individuals of a species in order to produce offspring that have desirable traits. In genetic modification, however, recombinant genetic technologies are employed to produce organisms whose genomes have been precisely altered at the molecular level, usually by the inclusion of genes from unrelated species of organisms that code for traits that would not be obtained easily through conventional selective breeding. GMOs are produced through using scientific methods that include recombinant DNA technology and reproductive cloning. (www.britannica.com) The...
