What are the positive aspects in the movie Gattaca?
In Gattaca (1997), Vincent/Jerome was able to overcome the unfair practice of genoism, which is discrimination against people who are not genetically engineered.

He found that if you want something bad enough, you can obtain it if you work hard toward that goal.
Why do people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
Because the long term affects of eating genetically engineered plants are unknown.
Why aren't all the foods we eat genetically engineered?
Some countries have not allowed genetic engineering on their exported goods, so depending on where you get it, it wont be engineered. Some people think engineering could be harmful, and some foods cannot sucessfully be engineered.
Can termites be genetically engineered to eat human bone?
I guess so, people have found dinosaur bones with ancient termite tunnels in them.
What is one risk that you can attribute to genetically modified food?
One risk of genetically engineered food is that foods produced from crops that have been engineered to produce a substance that kills insects could have negative health effects on people. Though some believe that is not a possibility, others believe is it not only possible, but probable.

Do people eat a lot of genetically engineered food and don't know?
Yes. Genetically modified foods have been on supermarket shelves for several years. Small modifications have been made to increase the size and general appearance of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, they are engineered to ripen slowly so that they may be transported long distances without rotting on the way. Vegetable crops are engineered to be pest resistant so that they do not get attacked by worms and other pests when they are grown on farms. There has not been a single reported case where a human being or any other farm animal has fallen sick as a result of consuming a genetically modified food.
Why do some people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
People have genetically modified foods to make them more insect-repellant, to give higher crop yields, to give products with more appealing qualities (flavour, texture, shelf life); this provides benefits for both producer and consumer. Some crop have been modified to be resistant to certain brands of herbicides, so that the plants are not affected when the farmer sprays the area for weeds (see the Monsanto website). Other modifications take the form of plants that are modified to be resistant to saline soils, or drought conditions. These benefits can increase the yields of crops in poorer or arid parts of the world which are normally susceptible to food shortages.
