Which genetically modified animals are approved for human consumption?
There are currently no genetically modified animals that are approved for consumption in the UK or USA.

However there is plenty of opposition against GM animals as food by many campaigners
What exactly is the organism known as Bt-corn?
Bt-corn is a type of genetically modified organism, termed GMO. A GMA is a plant or animal that has been genetically modified through the addition of a small amount of genetical material from other organisms through molecular techniques.

What effect does genetically modified food have on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods. In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
What are the pros in banning genetically modified foods?
Accountability, competition, diversity, and health are "pros" in banning genetically modified foods.Specifically, genetically modified foods are appearing on shelves even though their ingredients and procedures tend not to be completely identified and itemized. They come from large producers who can afford the genetic inputs and thereby make it so that domestic, local and small cultivators are disadvantaged in the marketplace. They may threaten diversity by their seeds cross-pollinating with and dominating over plants that are not genetically modified. They tend to be regarded with suspicion regarding their impact on the environment's, people's, and wildlife's well-being since their impact is neither known nor researched and their incorporation into lab animal diets is replete with incidences of tumors.
What term is used to describe an animal hoes genes have been altered using biotechology?
