Plants and Animals Genetically Modified, biotechnology, consecuences, risks and benefitsAbstract
Genetically modified plants and animals, like other technological advances, have generated considerable debate.The world seems divided between those who favor genetically modified foods and seeds and those who fear them; those who believe they will solve world hunger and those who doubt that this will be achieved with genetically modified plants and animals.
Therefore, I propose to highlight some of the problems that arise as a result of this technology.
To do so, I analyze some cases, such as tomatoes and cotton, the use of genetically modified animals and plants, labeling, patents, and allergies.
