Yujin Kang / First Draft / Wed 34

Sorry I changed my topic for the research paper. As you suggested I tried to make my topic (The government should provide welfare to poor people) more arguable, but It then became too hard to find articles written in english. I chose the topic which is more arguable and specific.

 

 

 

As the problem of starvation around the world becomes a serious global issue, lots of people including prominent scientists started to claim the benefits of GMOs. However, those who insist the safety of GMOs are missing the important points. They are considering only their short term benefits. GMOs have potential danger and no one knows whether they will cause serious problems several years later. Therefore, GMOs should be banned because they have potential danger, can damage the environment, and can afflict the agriculturists.

 

First, GMOs should be banned because no one knows how they will affect in the future, which means they have potential danger. That GMOs can solve food shortage and thus save people is true only in the short term. GMOs have potential dangers, since they are, literally, genetically modified. That is, during the process of making GMOs, the only required gene has to be added or removed. But It is never easy. If a very small part of the process goes wrong, a totally new substance can be made. If the new substance affects us as toxins, It can lead us to a really serious disease. Furthermore, no one knows how they will affect, in the long term. For example, DDT was proved to be the most effective pesticide in the past. However, It became prohibited after Its danger is exposed to the world. Also, the Doctor of Natural Health Center, Joseph Mercola, said the genetically modified soy has 10 adverse effects on human body - it interferes with protein digestion and cause pancreatic disorders and so on. Like this, no one knows the potential danger of GMOs, thus they should not be provided to ordinary people.

 

Another reason why the production of GMOs needs to be cease is that It can damage the environments, in the long term. In the future, GMO foods will break the food chain. It is because GMOs make the number of the products tremendously increase. If the products increase, the balance of the food chain will be destroyed. As a result, It will completely damage the entire environments and also human as well. In short, GMOs will disrupt the balance of nature, thus eventually destroy the whole environment.

 

Finally, GMOs should not be made not only because they damage the ecosystem, but can also afflict the agriculturists. They seriously attacks agriculturists, since GMOs are produced largely, and distributed at low prices. Consumers who buy the normal crops have to pay a lot, compared to the GM crops. Consequently, consumers will prefer to buy the GM crops rather than normal crops, and the agriculturists won't be able to sell much of their crops. In short, It will be hard for the agriculturists to make a profit, thus they will eventually destroy.

 

 

In conclusion, GMOs are just the same as toxin even though people cannot know at least for now, but they have potential danger. Furthermore, They can destroy the ecosystem, and eventually the whole nature. Finally, GMOs will make all the agriculturists lose their jobs. The benefits of GMOs sound compelling. They can be a solution to food shortage and save a lot of people. But after 50 years, no one can assure that they still can be the solution. Humans are not a science experiment, and GMOs should be banned right away.
