GMO: Personal Reflective Learning Journal

Week 4 - Section 4, Chapter 8 to Chapter 9, GT "Environmental Science" Miller and S. Spoolman (2011). Questions and Concepts of Critical Thinking: a) Concept 8 - 1: "What role does man play in role of premature death?" (P. 153) b) Concept 8 - 2: "Why prevent seed extinction "P. 80) c) Explain the intuitive answer to the next word. After all, all species have been extinct. Therefore, the extinction of passenger pigeons is not important, polar bears and the rest of the world's species are threatened by human activities. "Be honest with your reply and think of an argument that supports your position."

The title is "there is no scientific consensus about the safety of genetically modified organisms". Instead, quoting the joint efforts of GM seed developers and some scientists, commentators and journalists to build a "scientific consensus" on GMO safety, the discussion on this issue ceased. In a comprehensive review of consensus-reviewed GMO animal feed studies, almost the same number of research groups concerned with GM foods and research groups that showed that GMO is as safe and nutritious as traditional foods In the future. The review also found that most studies found that GMO foods are the same as traditional foods and have been done by biotechnology companies or their colleagues.

The newly announced report outlines the prevalence of GM contamination. This is in the journal of the International Food Contamination Association, and by the end of 2013 and 1997 396 transgenic contamination cases were recorded in 63 countries. Many of them include genetically modified rice. 3. Genetically modified rice accounts for approximately 33% of crop contamination. As of December 2012, GM rice is not widely used for production and consumption. Worldwide lack of commercial planting of genetically modified rice. The authors believe that this number may be related to the routine detection of imported transgenic rice at the border.
