 * The purpose of using GMOs is to make a plant of animal that will have a specifically made DNA sequence to make it irregular to other breeds or types of the plant or animal. By injecting the plant or animal type, the object is able to withstand herbiside or produce an insecticide. This can affect a lot of people with crops. An example is listed below in the next section.**=====

 * GMOs can affect many people, but in most cases its farmers. With the affects of GMOs on crops and plants, farmers don't have as much work to do and, therefore, can finish work faster. Companies are now able to sue farmers for the use of GMOs in their fields because of harvesting. This sends a huge threat to farmers all over the country. It also troubles the national food security in any country, not just the United States.**=====

 * The most common way to transfer the gene into animals or plants is to isolate the gene you want to change. The first step involves choosing and isolating the gene is inserting it into the genetically modified organism. Most genes transferred into plants provide protection against insects or tolerance to herbicides. In animals the majority of genes used are growth hormone genes.**=====

PROS of GMOs

 * More pest and disease resistance
 * Drought tolerance
 * Increased food supply

CONS of GMOs

 * Allergins and toxins admitted into food
 * Contamination of genetically modified and non-genetically modified foods
 * Antibiotic resistance
 * Changes nutrients in crops
 * "Super" weeds take over in future

==== **In conclusion...** I believe that GMOs can have their good sides, but can really effect society in a negative way as well. They can comtaminate food, make animals ill, and if we keep up the productivity of GMOs, the future is going to be filled with them and nothing is going to be naturally made. ====
