Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's) are already in many parts of our daily lives, probably far more than you currently realize. Now is your chance to become informed on the topic of GMOs so that you can make an intelligent decision in the lunch line, grocery store, and at the ballot box.
Some people are opposed to GMO's, while many people are in favor of them. Countless lives have been saved by GMO's. Insulin that is given to persons with diabetes is harvested from bacteria that have been genetically modified to produce human insulin. Genetically modified Zebrafish are used to detect pollution, to study human growth and development, and many other research purposes. Food crops have been modified to increase production and nutrition as well as reduce the need to use pesticides and herbicides.
You are going to make an informed argument for or against the use and creation of GMOs.
