answers:
Mrudul S say: I am totally against these GM crops as genes which don't belong to plants are forceful introduced in plants to make them resistant to fungal, bacterial and insect borne diseases. When such genes are introduced, along with the useful proteins, some unknown proteins can also be synthesised by these genes. Even the combination of the plant and animal genes may bring out some undesirable characteristics to plants. We never know.

Reasons such as disease resistance, insect resistance, drought endurance etc.. Things like seedless, colors, sweetness etc..
Meats from a lab...I would like to try them.

Joe say: In the coming era of rapid climate change, GMOs will be required to maintain agricultural productivity at levels that can feed humanity.
