Debate arguments

THBT, Genetic Engineering of food crops is progressing responsibly enough and that the policy should be expanded – “full steam ahead!” – Government

 

-Medieval times->chemical fertilizer->advantages

1) productivity

(1) resistant from insects, cold weather

① increase absolute and relative supply of crops

② people can buy food at cheap costs, use in various aspects with surplus supply(bio-fuel, solve famine more extensively)

2) consumer’s choice

(1) provide various choice for consumers

① GMO can increase the food’s taste, nutrients, etc.-> consumers can choose between GMO foods and Original foods

② if banned, would be the intrusion of consumer’s freedom of choice

3) solve environmental pollution

(1) GMO crops can lessen the use of chemical

(2) fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides b/c we are able to make the crops more resistant from outside damages.

 

가) Not to worry about Safety Issues

① There are no evidence of any kind of Genetic Mutation concerning the intake of GMO crops

② Rationally, it is so unproductive to give up all the good benefits of GMO foods over a baseless insecurity
