(GMO) Genetically Modified Organisms Must Be Prohibited

            In my opinion, GMO are wrong for some reasons. First of all, the health of people is being affected in negative ways, according to the article “50 Harmful effects of genetically modified (GM) Foods.” GMO can cause cancer and allergic reactions. Secondly, GMO are dangerous to the environment. Evidence (which appeared) in the same article shows that there are companies using toxic herbicides/pesticides with GMO that contaminate the soil. Also, these organisms cause the growing of “SUPERPESTS” such as cotton boll worms, which like to feed on this kind of plants. Thirdly, GMO has a negative impact in farming (as mentioned in the same article). The food production is monopolized, so big companies are controlling almost every production of food. “These agro-corporations have taken economic and legislative power away from the small, self-sufficient family farms.” Also, it is responsible for a lot of deaths in this planet. For all these reasons, I disagree with this technology; it is wrong and it only favors and enriches a minority of people instead of helping needy people.
