What is the GMO or GEO

Behind the acronyms the following notions are: Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) or Genetically Engineered Organism (GEO). In fact these two acronyms are concerning to plan, animal or unicellular organism which is manufactured by genetically technology.
These two acronyms are collective nouns of the trans genetic organism in the vulgar tongue, law and press but they are wrong expression because the traditional plant improvement is also making “genetically modified organism” if the engineering use treatment with irradiation or chemical mutagen.

The difference is between in the traditional procedures and the genetically engineering that the traditional way make random changes to the complete genome (theoretically they make a new version from the organism or a new species) while the production of the GMO is directional and planned. During the procedures the engineering is changing a part of the genome or take into the genome a small sequence from another organism.

In this procedure they do not make a new species. They only give new attribute(s) to the original organism.

Here I would like to notice that some pharmacies and other industrial goods made exclusively by GMO’s help (for example insulin and interferon, enzymatic washing powder, etc.).

If somebody want to see what this technology can give somebody without any preconception he should think about the followings:

Why can be good the GMO?

- We can grove resistant plan to the cold, hot, dryness and we can provide meals in the countries where are the big starvations.
- We can get bigger yield in our farms.
- We can protect our agricultural plant from the herbicides.
- We can protect our agricultural plant from the illness.
- We can keep longer time the meals (like potato, tomato, green pepper and etc.) in the sock or in the shelf of the shop.
- We can rear bigger pork, cow and etc. who are resistant of the different type of illness.

These sounds good, aren’t they? But what can be bad or dangerous in the GMO.

Why should are we afraid from GMO?

- People play Russian’s roulette when we make a genetically modified organism. We are only leery of what we have done. We do not know what cause our work ( for example an American company make a new genetically modified tomato with the peanut gene sequence because they wanted to get illness resistant tomato in 91’. After the changes the engineers seen the tomato was resistant the illness but the finish goods causes same allergenic symptoms like the peanut (it can cause death if somebody is sensitive).
- People do not test enough time the meals or feed before we start to sell the GMO’s product in the market.
- People do not know what kind of changing cause the GMO in his or her environment (let see the butterfly and corn case which is the school example when we talk about the genetically modified organism.
- What will happen if people grow agricultural plant in the farms and it is resistant of the herbicides? People will use lot of herbicides without thinking they will kill all of the plant around of the farm and when the herbicides touch the mineral water and they will mix together in the earth somebody or something will drink it several miles far way.
- In the last thing: who will say STOP to the bionic companies when they want to sell their not enough tested product in hope of bigger gain in world.
- Do you need more example or these will be enough?

Everybody can tell you good and bad things in this theme but nobody can be true. If you want to be better informed or you want to gain better knowledge about GMO read everything which you can and trust only in your heart because you know the people can do everything for the dollars.
