GMOs Isabella Prewitt
Benefits :smiley:
-
-
-
-
Cheaper food
when there is more of something the value goes down which makes it easier for people to buy more food.
Climates and Torrence
If the plant has tolerance for differences and harsh, then it can be grown almost anywhere
Concerns :warning:
-
-
May cause allergies
Say they put the gene of a banana into an apple and a child that eats that apple, but this child is allergic to bananas so now this little child is in danger.
-
New diseases
GMOs are a new type of science that we don't know a lot about so while we could be fixing problems in the world like diseases we could be causing new ones.
Claim

COUNTERCLAIM:
SHAYNA D.
BENEFITS:
I agree world hunger is a big issue however GMOs may not be the answer. The reason I say this is because GMOs have been found to cause organ failure and tumors in rats that were fed this GM food. Now GMOs may say they are better but do we really want to feed the poor kids in Africa food that caused rats to die. Here is some evidence to support my claim,"The study found that rats fed for two years with Monsanto’s glyphosate-resistant NK603 maize (corn) developed many more tumors and died earlier than controls" (Study Linking Genetically Modified Corn to Rat Tumors Is Retracted)."
COUNTERARGUMENT: while this is true People all over the world are starving and I'm not saying that this is the only way to solve it, I'm just saying that it is one of the many options.
I am pretty sure you specifically said that GMOs were the answer so the counterargument you came up with does not answer my counter claim.
Concern
GMOs have the ability to kill off bad animals that eat it, but this can negatively effect on the environment through time
COUNTERCLAIM:
SHAYNA D.
CONCERN:
GMOs in fact are great for the environment. The claim above is only a hypothetical. GMOs actually help us use less pesticides which is better for the environment. They help lessen soil and farm erosion. So all of the benefits of GMOs override the one hypothetical situation. Here is a piece of evidence to support this claim, " "The balance is to secure and maximize production as efficiently as possible, whilst at the same time, minimize the negative impact on the environment of the weed and pest control methods used" (GMO Answers). "
COUNTERARGUMENT: while this is a hypothetical situation this could happen because GMOs is a new science that could kill off many species and hurt our environment.
But, remember GMO foods have more benefits than this one singular hypothetical possibility.
Evidence
Benifits
“Many genetically modified foods have been created so that they’ll be able to grow faster, allowing for the potential of two harvests instead of one” (visionlaunch).
Concerns
“...that is the corn's pollen kills bugs and the pollen travels to flowers corns pollen which kills them so the bats have lets to eat and they die which lets the bugs live that kill humans [so we would die because of GMOs]” (Bill Nye).
