Should we sell, buy and consume

genetically modified food without

checking their long-term effects?

Is Genetic Engineering playing God?

Should we invest on GMOs or take them out of the market?

Can GMOs help to decrease malnutrition in the third world?

Are GM Crops a better solution to prevent

pests from destroying agriculture?

Should we demand the strict labeling of GM food?

Is genetic contamination a real

problem?

Is Genetic Engineering play to be God?

Is selective breeding also a way of genetic modifying?

Is it profitable to produce and

comercialize GM food?
