How are genetically altered crops beneficial to society?

Answer 1

There are few to no negative effects of biotechnology on society. Apart from a few very early trials of true genetic engineering that were likely not even caused by the biotechnology, there have been practically no harm whatsoever from biotechnology on people.

Answer 2

Genetically altered crops could be used to end starvation in third world countries with poor climates for growing crops, such as Africa. If you could create a type of crop of regenerating plants, which would recover their life at the first sign of water, or a crop which could store water like a cactus, then you would be able to produce a more efficient, better type of crop for the climate, ending starvation in poorer countires.

Answer 3

The effects of GMOs on humans is not really known. While some say that scientific studies show GMOs have no negative effects on humans, others point out that many, perhaps even most of those studies were not safety studies, but production studies. They also point out that a large number of the tests were done by or funded by the companies that produced the GMOs that were being studied and that the approval process by government agencies is lax at best. Some doctors have put patients on non GMO diets with positive results to patient health.

Answer 4

GMOs can change the world around us because the GMOs that go in our body go to our DNA system. So the GMOs can affect the our DNA systems. They can also provide us cancer but they are also more nutritious. They are more nutritious because they have the gene from a different animal in them. So we get the nutrients from that animal too. So we get double the nutrients.

Edited answer:

GMOs (genetically modified organisms) have been developed keeping in mind their capability to resist agaist insects & pests, pathogenes, stress due to drought, frost and several other adversities. Thus these organisms are better adapted for quality production but at the same time have some risk factor also.

We are thus, ushering into a new world with GMOs around us.
