GMOs
Pape Crown
CONCERNS :fire:
CAN CAUSE ALLERGIES
“ For example, if a banana gene is added to corn, then it could cause an allergic reaction in people with rare banana allergies” (Should the U.S. support...).

IT CAN CAUSE DISEASES 
Diseases can be caused because of the pollen spread from the GMO to the natural. They could get mixed and create something bad.
BENEFITS :tada:
IT CAN FEED MORE PEOPLE
The world population is rapidly growing. By 2050 it will be from 6 billion people to 9 billion people.

IT CAN HELP CHILDREN
STATISTIC: 500,00 children go blind because of a vitamin A deficiency-(Hank Green)

CLAIM: GMOs can be helpful to the world because the Earth population is rising and we won't have enough food on Earth to feed that many people. Unless we use GMOs. The GMOs can grow faster and feed more people and less people will starve.
EVIDENCE: "The United Nations estimates that the world population will grow from 6 billion to 9 billion by 2050. Some say we need to use new biotechnology to produce enough food for poor countries" (Should the U.S. support...).
Counterclaim (Sawyer) : Even if you can feed all the people of the world, it wouldn't be worth anything if they are getting sick and dying because of it. GMOs spread unwanted diseases and can cause food allergies, without them more people would live. More people would die eating GMOs than not eating. The people who don't eat will find a way to, but the people who only have contaminated food can't do anything.
CLAIM: It can cause allergies. People that are allergic to one type of food and could eat the other, might get sick by eating the other because the gene of the food that they are allergic to might be in the food that they aren't allergic to. There aren't strict enough laws yet that make people have to put labels on foods saying that it is a GMO.
