Do We Have the Right to Interfere With Nature?

Genetically modified foods could be dangerous. Whilst farmers have used them for years, it is wrong to bring together the DNA of one species into another’s genes. Also, scientists aren’t sure about the long term effects of genetically modifying food.

Government agencies are reluctant to stop genetically modifying food because of the power that the companies have with the governments.

Playing around with genes and DNA is wrong. They should just keep things the way they are and not change them, especially when they are unsure about the side effects. Also, it has been said that genetically modifying food can put people’s health at risk.

It has been proven that genetically modifying food does not always work. For example: Genetically modified crops do not increase yield.

In other words, genetically modifying food can risk the health and lives of people and the environment. It is unnatural and shouldn’t be allowed.
