Debate Pro:

Crops: Its all about the product effect, and environmental * It helps the crops away from the pest * Many crops loss mostly destroyed by the pests especially bugs, which in as a result it would impact on financial loss for the farmers due to the crop failure, and this would let into the starvation especially in the developing countries. Second, due to pests, farmer has to put out so much money to buy TONS of chemical pesticide annually, then we know that chemical is not good to be consumed and it potentially caused health hazard. And using the pesticide also fertilizers can poison the supply and cause harm to the environment. So by using GMO (ex; corn, beans, etc) could help to reduce those problems and saving money. * Herbicide tolerance * GMOs crops are able to fight the weeds that are growing around. And rather than buying herbicides to destroy weeds, it consume times, cost a lot and expensive process. Because weeds could take the nutrition that should be taken by the crops. * Disease resistance * Viruses and fungi and caused plant disease. * Cold or Drought tolerance * Now we know that plant grows in the cultivated areas only. But how about the cold and drought, which in people needs, staple food such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, etc? Especially in the drought because plant needs water moisture soil. Well by using GMOs it makes plant be able to grow in long period in the drought and high salt contain in soil and groundwater will help people to grow crops. Africa. * Nutrition * Malnutrition has been making many countries suffer especially those poor countries like in Africa. In 2002 in Zambia, there were thousands people struggled to get food, and then the president couldn’t afford them enough foods. In time the president was going to contribute the foods, a group of anti-GMOs did a campaign against it because they believe that its poisonous. Then the president believes that they are right. So then many people died because of mal nutrition.

Economically * Increase the economy
Health
* India and the Golden rice, genetically modified to contain high levels of beta-carotene in order to compensate for the vitamin A deficiency that kills hundreds of thousands of children around the world and blinds many more every year. One study on the prospects for golden rice in India found that the burden of vitamin A deficiency could be reduced by 60 percent, saving 1.4 million healthy life years. * As a result, their studies are substandard, adverse findings are hidden, and they typically “fail to investigate the impacts of GM food on gut function, liver function, kidney function, the immune system, endocrine system, blood composition, allergic response, effects on the unborn, the potential to cause cancer, or impacts on gut bacteria.” *

Negative: Health
Human Health risks Allergenicity A GM food supplement killed about 100 people and caused 5,000-10,000 to fall sick
1. One brand of the supplement L-tryptophan created a deadly US epidemic in the 1980s
2. The company genetically engineered bacteria to produce the supplement more economically.
3. Their product contained many contaminants, five or six of which were suspected as the cause of the disease.
4. Discovering the epidemic required multiple coincidences, suggesting that adverse reactions to GM foods may be hard to identify.
Antibiotic resistanc
Creation of super weeds and other environmental risk (natural pollination between plant and insects)
