If you use genetic engineering on a plant such as a banana, it could poison it. The main question/fear is: 'Is food that is genetically engineered harmful to our body or our health?'

Some reasons people wouldn't want Genetic Engineering Is because if they cross a tree seed with a sunflower seed then you can get Very tall sunflower. Then their would be more Of those and we would lose the regular sunflower.

People may not want genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture because they might have an allergic reaction or their phenotype will change drastically because of genes mutating and being polluted. Genetic Engineering may in the future damage the environment(s) we live in.

Cross pollution is a reason why people may not want genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture because pollen from modified plants can spread and infect other plants with GMOS causing other plants to be infected.

Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic material by direct intervention in genetic processes with the purpose of producing new substances or improving functions of existing organisms.

The reasons people might not want GMO's is because of the uncertainty of what it is. Everyone might eat GMO foods without knowing but some might have concerns of what Geneticly changing naturally prepared food might change. Allergies have gone up by 40%. This might be good to get rid of hunger and diesed food but what is the down side to this? Everything has another side to it.

Most people might not want GMO's because of medical reasons like allergies and mutations. But some people fear it isn't natural and may decrease their lifespan.

I personally don't like gene modification because honestly, it creeps me out that they can do that. Things like changing my GENES or even being put on laughing gas creeps me out. I don't know. I think I might have a fear for modern medicine.

Genetic engineering effects organisms in negative ways by cross-pollinating into the organism of choices' food source, sometimes turning the plants toxic to the organisms' main food source, thus creating a ripple in the food chain.
