What is the risk of the GM products?

Eversince the GM tomato firstly emerged in the market in 1994, the furious controversies have never stopped in the world. The arguments roughly attribute to three main points—the security for the human’s health, the destruction to the nature and the contravention with the ethic. The appearance of GM products is only 15-16 years, and their side-effects are not able to be rapidly revealed in such short period, so we still can not predict their security. But some countries’ scientists have warned people that some GM food can possibly cause the allergy. Moreover, the further concerns about the impact of the GM products are focusing on the issues which will threaten our environment of survival, such as the sharp decrease of the diversity of species, super-weeds and super-insects, and so on. In addition, the traditional ethic is being toppled down because the confines between the breast and the human have been breached by the research of the GM animals, for example, in Asresaerch (NZ)’s project, the genes of human proteins are being transfered into the cows in the trials.

Are the GM products the evil spirits escaped from the Pandora’s Box which one carelessly opened? Who knows? Probably, the answer will be exposed in our next two generations.
