Consumers want to have the tools necessary to choose for themselves whether or not to buy and eat GMO foods. Labeling is the only thing that will show them what foods do and do not contain GMOs, or at least so they think. In reality, cross pollination of GMO crops with non-GMO crops has resulted in almost all food types that have been genetically modified (corn, soybeans, papayas, canola, possibly wheat, sugar beats, sweet corn, and others), even ones labeled Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project and organically grown crops, having at least a small percentage of GMOs.

Where do you buy genetically engineered seeds for a science project?

It might be difficult to buy genetically engineered seeds for a science project. The seeds are patented, so the company that created the GM seeds holds the rights to the seeds. Monsanto is one of those companies and in the past they have not allowed their seeds to be used for experimentation without their permission. You could; however, contact Monsanto or another company that has developed GM seeds and ask them if you could buy some for your project.


When they find a way to genetically engineer perfect children should the law require that everyone be able to get it or that everyone must get it?

The government should not be allowed to impose genetically engineered children on prospective parents, nor should the ability to get engineered children become a right. Rights mean that the government has to fund it. Requirement means selective breeding. The next step might be the termination of pregnancies where a less than perfect child might enter the new perfect world. Government is not God and should not be given the power to play one.


Why are people against genetically modified plants?

When a plant is mutated it's genetic make up is modified.

Was the Eiffel Tower engineered?

Yes. Well, at least assuming I understand you question. If by "engineered" you mean that it was though out to work according to the laws of physics, then yes. Every building since the Renaissance (and many before) has been "engineered". Maybe a peasant hovel might no have been, but even your house was most likely "engineered".


How do you xxplain the medical reasons for cloning?

long story short, to research and see how things work.Cloning animal models of diseaseMuch of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice.Cloning stem cells for researchStem cells are the body's building blocks, responsible for developing, maintaining and repairing the body throughout life. As a result, they might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues.'"Pharming" for drug productionFarm animals such as cows, sheep and goats are currently being genetically engineered to produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine. Just like creating animal models of disease, cloning might be a faster way to produce large herds of genetically engineered animals.
