Dear Mark Lynas,
I am writing this letter to find a common ground in our views on whether the benefits of GMO’s outweigh the risks that it may come with. I understand that GMO’s provide a lot of different benefits that could possible revolutionize society and improve the current situation in many parts of the world. An example of this would be the third world countries where food and water are very scarce. As human population continue to grow exceptionally over time, we need to develop methods that can create food to feed everyone in the world.
It is understandable why people would consider GMO’s to be safe and a critical part of society. GMO’s feed millions of people on a daily basis. GMO’s allow humans to produce food in harsh climates, such as arid environments in the Middle East. Therefore, creating a reliable source of food production that does not require pesticides and cost friendly.
As these benefits may seem important and beneficial, there can still be problems. We agree that GMO’s should be allowed to be produced because they may become the primary source of food for us and our livestock’s, if not already. On the off chance that GMO’s can cause any mutation, would you take that risk? Would this not lead to a major problem in the long run as we rely on GMO’s more and more? Imagine what it would look like if humans began to show these side effects. There would be a global outrage. Even if the chances to cause mutations are small, the large quantities of GMO’s produced increases the chances of these side effects occurring in society.
I understand that you care deeply for the future of humanity and seek to relieve all hunger throughout the world, but please understand that nothing is perfect. GMO’s are definitely not perfect, there have been numerous of cases where they GMO have been proven to be very dangerous and risky. I am not against GMO’s, but please consider that GMO’s should be researched and experimented thoroughly to understand any potential risks. Through experimentation, it can be given a proper consensus about whether it should be allowed in the market for daily use. In the long run, we won’t be afraid of dangerous risks and problems that could occur if we continue to use GMO’s because we will have a better understanding of them.
Sincerely,
Anthony Wang
