Genetically Modified Organisms Annotated Bibliography

Hello FutureWolfTech readers! I am currently working on a much larger post that will focus on the ongoing controversy of Genetically Modified Organisms. Many believe that great limitations are evident in this field, such as reoccurring nutrient deficiencies in GMO fed animals , while other authors believe that the possibilities are infinite especially when pertaining to world hunger. Others argue that the safety of the consumer (in cases of GMO produce) is highly jeopardized because of the lack of knowledge in this area. In the coming week, I hope to tackle these claims in a way that you no longer have to sit on the fence in these strenuous debates.

The author argues genetically modified organism pollution is a very evident problem in the progressing society. The evidence includes that GMOs can be synthesized to where they cannot exist without certain proteins. This allows these GMOs to be regulated, such that the protein is removed when wanting to denature. This is highly relevant to my topic because GMO pollution is a pertinent problem to my subject.

The author argues that the world of modifying organisms DNA is highly underdeveloped and needs to be researched further. The evidence includes that their are many missing information that cannot be explained by current genetics. He includes two examples that indicate current experiments that cannot be explained. This is important to my topic because it shows GMOs are currently limited with todays technology.

The author argues GMOs are most useful in the term of the produce market. He includes that they have substantially lowered the occurrence of deaths from hunger. Also he includes that in Africa they have altered South Africa White Corn to have larger supplements of vitamins. This pertains to my topic because it shows the worldwide progress of GMOs.

The author argues that GMOs are an absolute necessity in the agricultural world. Like the previous author, he believes that produce is key to the developing world. He includes that the area used in GMO farming has increased 100-fold from 1.7 million hectares to 173 million hectares worldwide. This is also important to my topic because it shows that progress is being made substantially worldwide.

The author argues that the recent “poisoning” of produce caused by farming GMOs is a myth. He pleads that the rallies consisted of radicals that were against GMOs in general, rather than the actual issues. He really does not have too much evidence supporting his claim other than the interview of the starter of the campaigning. This involves my topic because it takes on the debate of if it is worth furthering knowledge in or not.
