Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) The debate over Biotechnology’s GMOs

Genetically Modified Organism an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. recombinant DNA technology... in vitro Examples include animals such as mice, fish, plants, etc. Purposes for plants: resistance to pests, herbicides or harsh environmetal conditions improved shelflife increased nutritional value

Dangers of GM Foods?

Controversy Meddling with biological states and processes; ethnical concerns Limitations to fully comprehend all of the potential negative ramifications of genetic manipulation. Dangerous Bans... Some counties and cities in the USA have banned the use of GMOs. Many countries in Europe are opposed to the use of GMOs.

GMO Free Locales Who is against GMOs?

GMOs are not seen as an improvement by some...
