The genetically modified foods were introduced to the world due to many advantages it has over the conventional foods. As we all know, there is only a limited earth surface suitable for cultivating. Due to the increasing earth population, it is obvious that one day, the food supply will not simply enough to cater the demand. In order to prevent such situation, the scientists have come up with genetically modified foods where they can use for producing more crops using the same amounts of resources. There are a number of benefits of genetically modified foods and let?s have a look at those.Pest resistance is one of the prominent benefits of genetically modified foods. Due to insects and pests, farmers lose a lot of money and lose a lot of crop globally. The aggregated loss is gigantic when it comes to the global level. Therefore, the genetically modified foods were introduced with the characteristics of pest resistance. As an example, some plants and flowers are pest resistant by nature. The scientists have taken the gene responsible for making such plants pest resistant and have added it to the foods we eat. Then the foods get the pest resistant ability, while producing more crops. In addition to that, the farmer is at advantage as he / she does not have to spend on chemicals and mechanisms for pest control. On the other hand, the consumers receive clean and healthy foods that have not been in touch with deadly chemicals and as well .Further research conducted by the Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering, which is a non for profit independent organization committed to study the impact of genetically modified corn as well as food in general recently corroborated the evidence of the earlier researchers that certain organs have been negatively impacted by genetically modified food, namely the kidneys, the liver, the heart, the adrenal glands and the spleen.

Though genetic engineering techniques such as gen e splicing of different species or cloning are generally frowned upon by the public as unethical practices that are against the rules of nature, these very procedures can save certain animals from going extinct and from becoming endangered due to manmade effects. The main dangers associated with genetically modified animals and the techniques used to create them are the risks of misuse and the disruption of natural genetic information. Since most modified farm animals are released out to nature, a lot of people are worried that they may cause disruption to the eco system and the delicate balance of nature with their un-naturally enhanced characteristics. It is considered that with the large amount of genetically modified animals and plants in the world today could lead to the acceleration of genetic erosion, harmful and dangerous mutations as well as the creation of all new diseases that could pose a threat to mankind
