Apa itu GMO?

GMO bermaksud organisma diubahsuai secara genetik. Ia adalah hasil daripada satu proses makmal iaitu dengan mengambil gen dari satu spesies yang lain dan dimasukkan ke spesis yang lain dalam usaha untuk mendapatkan sifat  atau ciri-ciri yang dikehendaki.

Adakah GMO selamat?

Negara-negara yang paling maju tidak menganggap GMO selamat. Lebih daripada 60 buah negara seluruh dunia termasuk Australia, Jepun dan semua Negara-negara di kesatuan Eropah, mengharamkan secara terang-terangan kepada pengeluaran dan penjualan GMO. Dimudahkan cerita, pada tumbuhan, teknik ini memberi kebaikan untuk kekebalan pokok tapi kepada manusia, ia akan memberikan kesan sampingan dan tidak baik untuk kesihatan.
