Many people do not appreciate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) due to the lack of depth in knowledge. When asking some individual about GMOs, he or she might speak most of the time about the food and its harm. However, it is not a reason to claim only the negative side of some problems because of the knowledge gap. Based on many resources, I consider genetically modified organisms a positive trend in human development due to their innovativeness and helpfulness in many areas of life, even though GMOs are fatal for many insects.
First and foremost, it is hard to estimate the value of GMOs in virology fairly. Especially now, humankind is in danger of growing demand for vaccines, which were created at the beginning of the vaccines producing process. Scientists try to modify the cell’s structure to neutralize the virus. Nevertheless, even if the task is not completed, it is crucial to proceed with the findings because it may lead scientists to solve the problem in another sphere of life. For instance, when producing some medicines, scientists may concentrate on providing high-quality research on genome production, but sometimes they may investigate a scientific unit of another sphere of life.
Secondly, farms are the main units of benefit-receiving from GMO development. Because of climate change and preventive quarantine measures, people cannot grow plants naturally. Some plants and bushes are dying during the heat, which may negatively affect the country’s internal food production and consumption. On the other hand, scientists who specialized in GMOs overcame this issue. By using GMO-containing fertilizers, farmers are aimed to develop their crops in any weather conditions, which helps continue economic stability (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 2020). This leads to the notion that the possible results of being against GMOs will turn the countries into a crisis due to the high demand. The new era is struggling for changes, so the world habitants should adjust to the other living conditions and continue functioning differently.
However, GMOs are also damaging people’s life in some specific cases. Turning to the insects and other live organisms, are harmed by humankind; by eating GM plants, beetles are dying because of the chemicals in the plant (The Royal Society, 2016). This leads to the notion that one day many helpful insects (such as beetles) will not accomplish protecting the ecosystem’s rules because all of their food will be poisoned. From this perspective, GMOs should stop to proceed their work in natural spheres of life. Genome modification is a great thing to my thinking, but how it is interpreted and realized in everyday life is slightly different from “right” peoples’ claims.
As a result, I insist on banning GMOs in organic life dimensions, such as inedible plants, due to their unimportance in saving humankind due to their harm to the Earth’s ecosystem. To be more specific, if changing the people’s products, only people as a species suffer from being harmed or poisoned by GM products. Despite the danger of such products, GMOs are regulated by three institutions in the USA: Food and drug administration (FDA), the environmental protection agency (EPA), and the animal and plant health inspection service (APHIS) (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 2020). Because of such strong regulation, I will not pay much attention to the GMO-labelled products because they passed a three-level examination, I completely changed my opinion about GMOs on the positive side when doing the research.
Overall, it is crucial to realize the value of GMOs from the food products’ perspective and consider the other spheres of life developed only because of this phenomenon. On the one hand, many GM products provide stable economic growth, so crises are unlikely to happen. Moreover, when disclosing the possibilities of genomes modifications, scientists might disclose how to protect people from certain diseases. Nevertheless, genome modifications may also cause an ecosystem crisis due to the insects’ destruction and the nature stagnation after this possible process.
