11 November 2014
Unlike traditional
crossbreeding techniques,
only one or a few genes
are introduced into the host
species. Therefore,
unwanted traits usually are
avoided.

More than 70 percent of cheese on the U.S. market is made with a genetically
engineered enzyme (chymosin).
Milk commonly is obtained from cows treated with a biotech growth hormone
(rBST) in order to increase milk production.
Livestock routinely eat feed made from biotech crops.
No genetically engineered fish, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens or other food
animals were on the market as of 2002.

KEY ISSUES
7
11 November 2014
Biotechnology is Controversial
11 November 2014
11 November 2014
Social choices
Gene manipulation
Changes internal chemistry of organism
Build-up resistance in non-modified plants &
organisms
Bio-safety
GMO food may cause allergic reactions
Bio-diversity
May disturb existing eco-system
11 November 2014
SAFETY
11 November 2014
Perversion
Transfer of genes from one species to
another is an abomination
The realm of God & of God alone
11 November 2014
Poison
-introduced gene itself may be a poison
-Introducing new genes may turn on
dangerous genes or turn off beneficial genes
11 November 2014
Promiscuity
-introduced gene may make crop a superweed
-introduced gene may flow to wild relatives,
polluting their gene pool
-introduced gene may flow to related weeds,
making them superweeds.
11 November 2014
Profit
Companies are concerned primarily
with making a profit
Food for people, not for profit
11 November 2014
Is Biotechnology Safe?
Is there evidence that gene splicing is
riskier than other methods of genetic
modification?
Is Biotechnology As Safe As Other
Methods of Genetic Modification?

benefits:
- insecticide reduction
- soil conservation & enhanced productivity
- improved water quality
- enhanced sustainability
- promotion of reduced risk herbicides & insecticides improved feed quality
Many of these benefits consistent with Biotechs
primary goals
-Biotech Crops have significantly improved farm
competitiveness
