GM Foods in the kitchen: Is this some kind of a joke?

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) products are submissive to ethical discussions; hence, they should not be implored to people for consumption.

GMO’s are variants of its particular species which genetic make-ups have been altered that caused these products to be yielded as big and as consumable as they could possibly be. They are brought about by the genetic engineering methods that revolutionize agriculture by increasing yields and resistance of these products from pests, improving their nutritional value and producing them in desirable traits. Among the genetically modified organisms that have been widely produced nowadays are the species of corns and even animals such as cows. These products have been proven to be a lot better from the ones that are of genetic endowment which only yield a fraction of the GMO yields. This only proves that the genetic engineering, that brought these products, does afford great opportunities for progress in food production and even in medicine worldwide.

But so what if GMO’s are promising in terms of nutrition and income? Would it make such great impact to the minds of the consumers when in fact many ethical issues have been arising along the discussions in introducing these products to people?

While the promise of GMO’s is very much in evidence, these same GMO’s have been the cause of outright war between researchers and ethics-concerned people. Myriad in the human population, including influential activists and members of the scientific community, have expressed concerns that genetic engineers are “playing God” by tampering with genetic material and that those GMO’s are their patent stuffs. This is only a manifestation of how advanced and how bad the technology is nowadays that it has encroached even to the natural principle that is supposed to be a patent of every unique organism.

Now my point here is solely on my disagreement to GMO products as human food on the ground that they show modifications on what God has given to every living thing on Earth. They are simply violations to the natural law that has been governing by Him. There are things in life that exist in nature, that is, they exist as that because it is fate that tells them so. Now playing with traits that are already imprinted in the genetic material of an organism is just an absurdity and that it is not something that humans should be practicing even though breakthroughs in science have already made an avenue for them to explore and possibly alter the prime carrier of the characteristics of an organism.

A label that only says “GM FOODS” simply acts as a brand- like POISON label, it shouts a warning to the public of lurking danger. For this reason, gene-modified crop would surely go a long way toward hastening public acceptance of gene technology in the kitchen or perhaps I insinuate that it would be a lot better if the GMO products will be kept only for the consumption of those people who don’t care of the moral infringement it poses on every living organism.
