Essay / Research Paper Abstract
The arguments over genetically engineered crops are likely to continue for years. On one side of the argument are fears and some evidence that there is the potential for harm, on the other ore the economic, environmental and social benefits that may be realised. This 9 page paper argues that genetically engineered crops will bring many benefits which will outweigh any negative effects. The bibliography cites 4 sources.

There are many who argue that there are many dangers, many of which are unknown, fears over the long term impact of the modified genes, such as increased presences of
carcinogens, the impact of viruses crossing strains and that once the genetically engineered strains are in the environment it will be to late to rectify the damage. However, these scare
mongering tactics, whilst having dome basis on truth, have also been seen with many other developments, there were those who believed travelling fast was more than the body could take,
equally fears have surrounded medical development. However, in accepting the fears and not considering the potential that genetically engineered crops there is also the potential of losing a great benefit
that could resolve or alleviate many problems, and by looking at this is a factual manner looking at evidence rather than rhetoric the real situation may be appreciated. There
are both advantages and disadvantages to the development of genetically engineered food. The attraction of a plant that is resistant to disease, tolerant to herbicides, able to increase yield, and
fruit that will stay fresh for longer are all attractive features for a farmer looking to maximise the potential of the land. Despite the research and development costs, the
economic side can be seen as reducing overall costs of the farmers, a benefit which, theoretically, should be passed on to the consumer. With plants developed that have a built
in resistance to both pests and diseases the need for crop spaying and losses due to these natural phenomena will decrease. This means higher yields and few chemicals be purchased
by the farmer. The advantage of increasing yield can be seen as very relevant. The current scenario is one of a growing population and as such increasing food
