Question

Three friends are doing research about genetically modified organisms. This is what each concluded from their findings:

Samah: GMOs are important because they help increase our world’s food supply. Farmers can grow GMO plants using less chemicals, which is better for the environment.

Farah: GMOs should not be used because they are unnatural. Humans should not try to change nature.

Abir: GMOs should be used for creating medicines but not for food. Scientists do not have enough information to know if eating GMOs is safe.

Who do you agree with? ____________________

Explain why.

Answer 1

I think Samah right based on this scientific consensus, it is reasonable to agree with Samah's perspective. GMOs have the potential to increase food production and reduce the use of harmful chemicals in farming, which can have positive impacts on both food security and the environment. While it is important to continue monitoring and researching the long-term effects of GMOs, the current evidence supports their safety and benefits.
