“The opinions of people with strong opinions should be given the same weight as those with compelling scientific evidence.” Discuss with reference to media coverage of a scientific controversy. The controversy over genetically modified foods. What are GMOs/genetically modified foods and why are they controversial? modified organisms and ultimately determine whether GMOs are safe or potentially harmful to humans and the environment. Genetically modified foods (GMOs) are created from organisms that have specific modifications introduced into their DNA using genetic engineering methods. In molecular biology, genetic engineering is defined as “the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes” (Campbell & Reece, 2005: 384). In retrospect, organisms that have been genetically modified are scientifically called "transgenic organisms", more commonly referred to as "transgenic organisms". as “genetically modified organisms” (Karp, 2008: 770). Genetically modified foods or GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are used to refer to crop plants whose genetic material has been modified to change their biology or chemistry to increase their resistance to herbicides or improve their nutritional content. Genetically modified foods have generated a controversial debate between: government regulators, biotechnology companies, scientists, economic activists, environmentalists and consumers. The main areas of controversy related to genetically modified foods are the neutrality of scientific review and publication, the environmental and health outcomes of genetically modified crops, and the role of crops in feeding the world's population. In the middle of the document, it demonstrates that the FCT and Monsanto coincide with the same agenda. Furthermore, the media and corporations have enough power to manipulate people based on authentic scientific evidence. People with strong opinions, such as environmentalists and anti-GMO activists, support Seralini's study as compelling scientific evidence and recognize the agendas of corporations and scientists. their strong opinions. While each person can rant about these details and come to various different conclusions about the importance of genetically modified foods as well as the moral decisions made by the companies that control the production of these foods. The final choice regarding genetically modified foods should be left to a well-informed consumer and not left in the dark by government leaders and large corporations who may not have the interests of the general public as their primary goal...
