Genetically Modified Organisms
Genetically modified
organisms are beneficial and safe because ...
... genetically engineered bacteria are used for waste treatment
and cleaning the environment.
... genetically engineered bacteria, plants, or animals can produce
hormones and antibiotic.
... crops are herbicide and pest resistance, yet ...
... no one has been poisoned by a genetically modified plant ...
... there are no known hybrids between native plants and genetically
modified plants that have become superweeds and destroyed natural
habitats.
... genetic engineering also provides industrial improvement of
enzymes used in fermentation of bread, wine, beer, or cheese or
for specialized production steps in drug development and synthesis.
Other applications include the production and improvement of detergents,
fats, oils, starch, fruit juces, cellulose and paper products.
