Genetic Engineering and GMOs

Not excited initially but grew interested

Completely opposed

Excited and eager

Indifferent and uninterested

Decreasing the frequency of a specific allele in an organism

Increasing the frequency of a specific allele in an organism

Creating entirely new species

Eliminating all mutations in an organism

DNA that is naturally occurring

DNA that is artificially created by splicing and recombining fragments

DNA that is found only in plants

DNA that cannot be modified

They are cheaper to produce

They are more nutritious than traditional foods

They can lead to allergic reactions

They are always safe for consumption

It can improve the taste of crops

It can lead to the extinction of certain species

It can create superweeds that are resistant to herbicides

It can reduce the need for pesticides

By inserting a gene from a scorpion tail into cabbage

By cross-breeding cabbage with poisonous plants

By exposing cabbage to radiation

By using chemical pesticides on cabbage

They are less resistant to pests

They are more expensive to grow

They can thrive without herbicides and insecticides

They require more labor to produce

Labeling GMOs is unnecessary

GMOs should be labeled so people can make informed choices

Labeling GMOs is anti-scientific

GMOs should not be labeled

They are completely safe and require no testing

They pose significant safety risks

They are more dangerous than traditional foods

They should be labeled if they are as safe as claimed

It should be banned entirely

There are certain lines that should not be crossed

It should be pursued without any restrictions

It is always beneficial to the environment
