Arguement essay-exam

ARGUMENT ESSAY



Don’t be act like “pseudo - god”

500 Children sit in school restaurant. There is some GM food on the table.
However, they don’t know what kind of food they will. You are the only one who knows the fact. Do you want to notice them that fact? Otherwise, do you want to avoid the responsibility because the food tested by credential health agency. I reject the GM food. According to U.N. health agency’s reports (2005), some genetically modified foods are safe. Nevertheless, I don’t want to believe the safety of GM food. Because we need more time to get reliable consequences, we can not eat GM food anymore. In addition, side effects and prohibitions in USA supermarket are another reasons.
First, nobody knows results. All I’m assuming is that it’s not yet to be seen. In fact, there is consensus that some GM crops are safe. In according to Higgins “WHO study: Genetically Modified Food in Supermarkets is Safe, but New Foods need Testing “, “GM food currently has not caused any known negative health effects”. However, we may face different effects by more experiments.
Second, some side effects of GM food are founded in some Asian areas. In “ BT corn ailments in Mindanao”, Lopez (2004) informs that “Kalapagan residents became weak after eating grilled Bt corn”. Some cases though are not seriously harmful to human beings, we must reject the GM food.
Finally, USA does not sell the GM food and European Union (EU) against GM products. USA is a giant in GM food technology. USA does not want to give their people GM food. Another high technology countries suspect the harmful effects. They don’t know the side effects entirely, but they doubting the GM food. They are just watch that the process in other countries.
In conclusion, GM food might be “Trojan horse” from catastrophe. After invented the new methods in 1972, many of farmers in 18 countries use scientific methods. However, methods that can produce more grains, resist pests may create unwanted consequence. Scientists had opened “pandora’s box” again. A human being should not mimic “pseudo - god”. We must reject all GM food.,
