Genetically Modified Organisms: Pros and Cons
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) offer promising solutions to global food insecurity through increased yields, enhanced nutrition, and pest resistance. However, concerns remain about their environmental and health impacts, such as allergenicity, “super weeds,” and soil degradation. While GMOs have demonstrated significant benefits, the lack of extensive safety testing raises ethical and ecological concerns. This paper examines both the advantages and risks of GMOs and calls for comprehensive research to ensure their safe development and use.
