Do we really need to change it?

On Earth today there are about 7 billion people. Therefore, in the world there is a problem of food shortages in some regions. Scientists are trying to solve this problem by creating transgenic organisms. Genetic engineering makes it possible to introduce genes into a plant of any organism.
GM-products have disadvantages and advantages.
Supporters of GMOs say that we can invent the plants that are resistant to drought in Africa as well as resistant to various diseases of plants, so we can abandon using of chemicals in agriculture.

But in many countries today grow GMO plants. And this hasn't yet led to the problem of hunger in Africa. It became clear, that GMO products are almost thirty percent more expensive than natural. Also another significant disadvantage is that genetically modified plants don't produce viable seeds. It is very disadvantageously to farmers. Also, in the fields of GMO herbicides and pesticides used on average per hectare more than in fields with normal products. And, the most frightening, that GMO plants produce hybrids with wild plants in the fields. Maybe in a few decades, our planet will inhabit products — mutants.

I am against GMOs - products, because it is still unknown their effect on the human organism.
Scientists can't say the answer, because GM foods have been invented a little more than 20 years ago, and it's too little time.


Some experts believe that the simulated genes can cause genetic mutations in human cells. Therefore GMO — products may have a negative effect on the human organism. Every day there are new scientific findings that confirm the facts of the negative impact of GMOs in experimental animals in which all processes in the body are faster than humans.
