A few decades ago, modifications in genes of animals and plants happen only in science fiction movies. But nowadays it's become a reality and genetic modification is under various transformation. Many positive results will come in the future, as it is helpful in the extirpation of many hereditary diseases. As hereditary diseases can only be eradicated with the help of genetic modification.
Genetically modified seed of many crops are used by the farmer at large scale just to increase the productivity of the crop and also to reduce susceptibility to diseases. As we know that every coin has two sides, likely the genetic modification of plant or animals can be more dangerous than its beneficiary part. It can lead to dangerous repercussions when genetically altered plants and animals in our food supply are used without any proper study of that particular altered gene of that food product.
Food products of GMO (Genetically modified organisms) are used before knowing its harmful effect on our health. GMO food products should be carefully studied and tightly observed before accepting in common practice. We still not know how GMOs may affect our food chain and our environment. When DNA is messed up, it makes changes that can have many dangerous consequences; especially some of them may or may not be realized after several generations.
One of the most serious concerns about GMO product is the anonymity of the behavior of modified genes of plant and animals that interact with other organisms.
GMO (Genetically modifying organisms) food products are used to make more food available at a cheaper price. The profit-making attitude and apathetic behavior towards the environment have made the scenario more complicated. GMO food products should be reduced in order to save the nature and its cycle of heredity. Genetic modification is a slow natural process it cannot disturb anymore.
