Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology to transfer genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. Genome editing occurs when scientists insert, remove, or replace genetic material from a cell’s genome. While genetic modification could result in benefits like better health and stronger species, it also carries several risks such as allergic reactions, reduced nutritional value, ecological impacts, lack of biodiversity, and increased pesticide and herbicide use that could harm both humans and wildlife.

“Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic
manipulation, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using
biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic
makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across
species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms”

Genome editing occurs when scientists either insert,
remove, or replace genetic material from a cell’s genome.

What is the problem

9. MP
WillHealthy Risks
Allergic reactions
The nutritional value of foods can be less
Ecological risks
Plants or animals will become
invasive or toxic to wildlife
Lack of biodiversity
The engineered organisms often dominate
reducing the available diversity.
Increase in insecticide
and herbicide use
Plants more resistant to insecticides
Bugs with a greater resistance

Food that are GMOs
They contain genetic matter synthesized from other organisms.
