RJA #3c: Research Question
Do the benefits of genetically modified food stuffs outweigh the inherent risks associated with the modifications?
Are the way organisms genetically modified increase or decrease the negative risks?
Should companies or individuals be allowed to patent genetic modifications?
Are governments doing enough to mitigate the known and unknown risks of GMOs?
RJA #3b: Research Topic Focus
Higher Crop Yields
More Economical
Improved Food Quality
Modified to be More Nutritious
Lower Level of Biodiversity in that Species
Emergence of New Diseases and Allergies
Super Bugs/Weeds Develop
Increased Use of Pesticides & Herbicides
Monopoly of Seed Stock and Livestock
RJA #3a: Research Topic Exploration
In researching my topic I found numerous websites pertaining to the science behind GMOs. I easily found basic information on many sites and even some sites linked up science journals. Also in my research I came across activist websites from both point of views, which is a great place to get polarized views on the subject. To round out my overall search though I would like to find some more scholarly sources and a few books on the topic.
