Genetic engineering is a technology that has been developed since the late 1980s. As the technology develops further, more and more techniques were discovered and are now as a replacement for traditional procedures in the past is applied. In agriculture, genetic engineering to the introduction of new varieties of plants and crops, which should be more benefit to the farmers and consumers is done. Genetic engineering advantages include the following:
-Umweltschutz by reducing pesticide use
-Increased agricultural production due to improved resistance to pests, viruses and fungi
-Pharmaceutical benefits, since introduced new crops, hepatitis can result in medicine production such as production of vaccines
However, much consideration with regard to GMO health risks as well as since genetic engineering must be advantages that come with this modern technology not without disadvantages.
Why do we have different claims of genetic engineering above - and disadvantages?
Farms like Monsanto, professionals include genetic engineering increased farm and food production, which will ultimately benefit small farmers, as well as developing countries. They claim that genetic engineering will help protect of the environment of genetically modified crops are now more resistant to pests and viruses, are the common problems to agricultural crops.
These results which should include less pesticide, finally by the environment. But professionals GE view considered that only the smaller image. For these large agricultural companies advantages must outweigh the risks genetic engineering, due to the fact that they need research spent back profits from editions for years.
However, many researchers, the long-term implications and likely dangers that come with the genetic engineering start to see. Danger to the environment such as the probable introduction of the super weed through cross-contamination can result from this technology. Super weeds, which are also resistant to pesticides can crop production in the long term reduce and farmers more headaches than good.
The ultimate wild plant of wild plants, which have medical values is very possible, in the light of the fact that the introduction of genetically modified plants may finally lead to the decline in biodiversity. As per GE scientists argue that they have to do with single gene replacement, others believe that this single gene to cause unexpected changes such as such as increased virulence and sank of antibiotic resistance in plant pathogens.
GMO health risks, you should very worried over
GMO health risks that come with the introduction of GM crops and genetically modified foods are more than environmental issues. Single gene changes can change genetic structure in plants and the possible introduction of allergens on the newer variety. Antibiotic resistance by the antibiotic-resistant genes can also lead to an increase in the number of the superbugs, now beginning to be discovered. Also represent a threat to the health of the individual as the effects of changes of single gene and mutations, nor be clarified.
As genetic engineers believe the overall picture is that there are many advantages to GE, look at. Herumspielen with genetic structures is very unpredictable and the long-term results may be something very regrettable.
