Identify the arguments made by Prince Charles and Professor Alison Smith on the issue of using genetically modified crops to reduce the problem of world hunger. Express your opinion about whether you agree with Prince Charles or Professor Alison Smith. Explain why you take this point of view.
Express your opinion about the need for more research into the safety of genetically modified organisms. Is this research necessary or not?

Answer 1

Farmers should discontinue the use of Bt corn (genetically modified maize)as their negative affects on the health of the consumers have not been fully over ruled by the recent research. In my opinion, genetically modified crops, although, are resistant to various pests, should not be encouraged because of the toxic chemical contents used during their production. There's a strong likelihood of these toxic chemicals entering our food chain and also being harmful to other naturally growing plants, hence there's a need for more research before this idea is pursued.

Answer 2

No, because GM maize has caused controversy with respect to possible health effects,
And also, the use of GM o can cause ill , pain, sickness, or even death in some serious cases

Hope this helps
