Pros and Risks

There are two sides to the issue  genetic engineering. What would be evidence to support each side. Please give one positive aspect of genetic engineering and one negative aspect of genetic engineering.

Pro, it can get rid of pesticides.

Con, could spread to weeds.

Nico J. said...

Some evidence that supports the "pro GMO" side is that using GMOs can keep species from becoming extinct. Some evidence that supports the "no GMO" side is that GMOs are bad for farmers and they aren't healthy.

no gmo alll natural and with gmos is better nutrients

Tammy B Raps said...

One Pro is that it makes food bigger and one Con is that it effects wild life.

Gage k said...

a pro, is it increases yield of crops

Aiden S. said...

A positive is that it could improve yield but a negative is that the GMO could go into the weeds.

a con is it could spread to weeds

One positive aspect of gmo's are farmers can produce my nutritious food and a negative aspect of gmo's are they can raise allergies.

More food to eat, we don't know how we might be effected in the future

One pro is it increases food size and one con is it could spread weeds.

Allie H. said...

One pro for GMOs are it makes for less use of pesticides and herbicides. A con for GMOs are the effects of people are unknown.

One negitive thing would be if something cross polinated and the weeds got jacked and got gainzz and killed all the good plants.
A good thing would be made food more peful and nutritious.

positive: could improve yield negative: reduces genetic diversity

Gage k said...

a con is it isn't good for animals

OLIVIA BROWN said...

Pro gets rid of pesticides.

tfrazz said...

a pro is resistance to insects a con is food allergies.

JACK A said...

pro:Insect resistance

con:gene transfer

anthony johnson said...

the good thing is that it reduces genetic diversity con WEEEEEEDS.

mckenzi said...

So theres this guy on the pro gmo side is like
"it could make food higher in protein! or it could grow in poor soil or climate"
so this guy on hate for gmos looks at him and is like.
"you lie because we don't know if theres a long term effect to animals or the plants or US!!,and the genes could spread to the weeds and make them harder to kill!!!"
the two guys had a big fight on this for a long time tell they died or word loss.

they can make food more nutrias and have a longer self life but it could also be bad for you and turn out to have side-affects.

it can save lives

it can kill people

cana kill people

Austin K said...

Pro: Could solve world hunger

Con: could make world hunger worse

LAYSSE said...

Ap pro is that it will make the food population bigger and better, A con is that it will kill some wildlife.

Elise R. said...

A positive point is that the food good be more nutrient rich.

A con is, the pesticide resistant that the GMO may have could spread to weeds.

TIMMY Z. said...

The Pro side of GMO's is that it can keep different species alive longer. And the No GMO's side is that the food and crops for people (farmers) Would not be healthy to eat.

Pros: NUTRIENTS.

Cons: LACK OF NUTRIENTS.

vincent said...

we don't know how if the can kill you or give you a new dises
you can leave it on the shelf longer

may the 4th be with you...

On the good side GMOS increase the size of crops and on the bad side GMOS limit the nutritional values in food products.

Becca P. said...

One pro of GMO's is it makes different animals live longer, and the risk of GMO's is that food for people wouldn't be healthy to eat.

Anonymous said...

it could produce an ABOMINATION!!!!!!!! as a risk

has resistance to pesticides but affect growth of people

* Less diversity
* more crops

Ethan F. said...

Genetic engineering can allow the growth of more food, but it can also cause unwanted illnesses within individuals.

One good thing that could come from genetically modifying organisms is that crops could produce more of the product that they produce. One bad thing that could come from genetically modifying organisms is that crops could start producing dead parts of the plants because you never know if the plant can be harmed by the new genetic information that was inserted into it.

a con is it could spread to weeds


Pro, it can get rid of pesticides

Positive: It can make foods immune to diseases.
Negative:The long term effects on human are unknown.

gmo's make animals live longer and they also make food healthier

Emma Madore said...

gmos make people live for a longer time and also make food better to eat

gabby s said...

Pro, it increases food size
Con, it could spread lots of weeds

Cole Douglas MacPherson said...

Pro: More food per space Con: hurts some animals like bees

Pro, it could help prevent sickness.

lindsey p said...

it can help prevent sickness, but it could also spread to weeds.

Alissah H. said...

a con is it isn't good for animals

Cameron G said...

A pro could be putting more nutrition in the foods. A con could be they might not be safe to eat.

David R. said...

The different stuff the scientist could be dangerous to animals and plant and create new deceases.

They be healthy

Mason R. said...

Positive- It makes food bigger and more nutritious, Negative- It is not all natural and could spread illnesses.

They help the plants grow healthy, or help from preventing sickness, but it can also spread weeds in the garden.

help plants grow healthy

A positive aspect to genetic engineering would be that there would be higher quality crops. A negative aspect to genetic engineering would be that the long term side effects on humans are unknown.
