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.
