Scientist Statement

We believe that the risks outweigh the the benefits in many ways the risks are more harmful than the benefitsbeing more beneficial.Overall, the risks have more a logn term effect than the benefits leading to more long life problems that can occur. These risks are that the new genetic structure of foods might result in new allergens, the toxicity levels of naturally occurring food toxins might result in new allergens. There are also certain risks that must be taken to consideration such as modified plants or animals that may have genetic changes that are unexpected and harmful, modified organisms that may interbreed with natural organisms and out-compete them, leading to extinction of the original organism or to other unpredictable environmental effects.
