A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

Environmentalists Say GM Seeds are Bad News  

Environmentalists say GM seeds are bad for the environment, dangerous for the security of the world? S food supply and will cause millions to starve. But if one really deals with the debate any of these statements can be absolute truth. Why is it bad for the environment? GM crops were said to be badly by some environmentalists, but Monsanto has found a way to end the seeds, this stopped them from spreading to other strains of DNA, RNA of natural or wild plants. To help the environment. It is a relatively brilliant? Green Technology? We get to have our cake and grow them too.

It is not disastrous consequences for world food security at all on the further examination of this argument, he may very well end up saving us and nutrition of the world until we understand the full impact of our Playing God with seeds. If they quit, quit, we also minimize any negative side effects or genetically modified error. This way you do not end up with resistant mosquitoes, modified insects or losses from Natures own best plants, crops and food. So it is a great intermediate step to ensure that we have enough to eat, while figuring out how science can be future problems we face, the bleak, but we are intelligent beings these people. We do not know everything we need to know yet. Monsanto and others, the more money they can feed the world and people are healthier, happier and safer from disease, all problems tend to increase during the long drought periods as known through the history of epidemics, viruses and diseases.

meantime, I would point out that this is a springboard for the future is not an absolute end game. A critic of Monsanto in Brazil? S terminator GM seeds; Ribierio woman should, and tell people to stop reproducing ourselves into oblivion, because if people would do less baby and more thinking none of these problems would even be eventful enough to cause a stir of controversy for us to argue about? means? when people die on the world of AIDS, cancer, malaria, dysentery and a host of other things due on the taxation of our current bio-system. The mortality rate is 5:1 for children in Africa at the moment, and it is not getting better fast enough, some say it is getting worse as children are born with AIDS, not much future? Think about it, you can use the technology we now have to humanity forward.
