**GMO'S; ARE THEY GOOD OR ARE THEY BAD?**  **By Kailey and Isaiah**  GMO Stands for Genetically Motified Organisms, these organisms are motified to meet the desired or useful trait. 70% of all foods found in American Supermarkets have Genetically Motified Ingredients = Advantages are as follows... = By having Genetically Motified Organisms, the world has been able to motify and change the genes in food that produce longer shelf life, insulin, and help cure malnutrition.

GMO's also taste better in natural foods. For example, they make pepers spicier and corn sweeter, they also make the shelf life longer. [] GMO's are proven to make a production of human isnulin, can be used in Gene Therapy and the creation of Neo-Organs. With this, the production of these things can help save peoples lives, along with helping end malnutrition. []

By producing GMO's, sciencetist have been able to make animals healthier, and have faster and more efficient food production. By inserting GMO's into animals it is helping discover and cure some of the worst diseases found in humans. We are able to do this by altering and transfering the DNA of animals into the DNA we can use for humans. We are able to make certain protiens that will develop when being treated. But only under medical assistance.Sheep, pigs, and rats are most likely to have DNA that is altered. []

"In biological research, transgenic fruit flies (//[|Drosophila melanogaster]//) are [|model organisms] used to study the effects of genetic changes on development.[|[][|32][|]] Fruit flies are often preferred over other animals due to their short life cycle, low maintenance requirements, and relatively simple genome compared to many [|vertebrates]." []

Disadvantages of GMO's are as follows...
Ethical concerns have been brought up recently giving GMO's a bad name. In third world countries its hard for them to budget in enough money to create GMO's so many people are losing there jobs over this. The only resort they have is to resort to unethicall sources. Social Conserns: Enviorment Problems- Some of the crops that farmers plant are at risk because GMO's are actually destroying the plants and they way crops could be pollinated. As shown in the picture of the corn. []

Saftey problems- collateral damage Unperdictable outcomes May tamper nutritional value Detramental to Gentic diversity

CONCLUSION!!
In conclusion, we have found that there are many good things about GMOs yet, there are quite a few bad things about them. Is it really worth the risk? The risk that animals are going to be killed for us humans to use GMOs? There are good things that come out of GMOs like there is a chance that we can end malnutrition, and there is the chance that we can cure some very bad diseases. But is that the chance we wanna take?
