  1. I am not.
  2. Ok. Now, let's talk about counterarguments.
  3. Um There are multiple counter arguments to refute this point of view.
  4. And here are two.
  5. First, we have
  6. allogenic
  7. and health risks to GMO
  8. where um we defined allergy as a hypersensitive immune response that occurs
  9. when a person comes into contact with these specific substances called allergens.
  10. These allergies can lead to symptoms such as red eyes, itchy rash, swelling,
  11. runny nose and breathing difficulties.
  12. Currently, there's no evidence that GMO S cause allergies.
  13. In fact,
  14. researchers who develop GMO foods run tests to ensure that
  15. allergens are not transferred from one food to another.
  16. They have also shown that GM foods are not
  17. more likely to trigger allergies than their non GMO compo
  18. counterparts or components.
  19. And to prove this,
  20. a doctor in Harvard making noise conducted a study to address and
  21. test many suspicious regarding the effects of GMO S on organ health,
  22. offspring and DNA
  23. that as we discussed, um we can find it here
  24. where
  25. um there's no relationship between GMO S and mutations and there's
  26. no evidence for gene transfer between DM OS and consumers.
  27. Um Fertility,
  28. pregnancy and offspring are unaffected by DM Os and organ
  29. health and function is unaffected by GMO S as well.
  30. Now, we have also the labeling and implementing mandatory uh for GMO products.
  31. Um This could be actually very costly and complex process.
  32. Um Food manufacturers would need to track
  33. and verify the presence of GMO ingredients
  34. and update packaging. Comply with
  35. um labeling relations and potentially leading to increase for
  36. prices for consumers due to this whole process which
  37. defeats the pro
  38. defeats the purpose
  39. defining clear price hold for GMO um content presents another challenge because um
  40. determining which products should be labeled to trace amount of GMO S,
  41. it's difficult even the diversity of GMO crops.
  42. And
  43. um it's very, very tense
  44. rather than totally relying on labeled consumers to prioritize understanding
  45. the rigorous risk assessment process
  46. undertaken by regulatory agencies worldwide.
  47. Some food companies already voluntarily labeled their
  48. products as non GMO or GMO free,
  49. allowing consumers to make informed choices based on their preferences.
  50. Now, let's go to our conclusion.
  51. And
  52. um
  53. introduction of GMO S in agriculture
  54. represents a significant technological advancement,
  55. offering various benefits across various domains.
  56. Um Through precise genetic engineering techniques,
  57. we find that GMO S have enabled the development of crops with in hazed
  58. trades such as resistance to pest diseases
  59. leading to improved crop yields and quality.
  60. Also adopting GMO S fosters environmental sustainability
  61. by reducing the need for chemical inputs.
  62. As um mentioned before,
  63. promoting conservation um conservation of tillage
  64. practices and enabling cultivation in previously
  65. unsustainable environments
  66. and now economically GMO S contribute to higher farm incomes,
  67. reduced production costs and enhanced livelihoods for farmers,
  68. particularly in developing regions.
  69. Now, despite concerns raised
  70. regarding electricity and complexities of GMO S labeling
  71. scientific data or evidence has consistently supports the
  72. safety and benefits of genetically modified organisms.
  73. Embracing GMO technology offers a
  74. promising pathway towards sustainable agriculture
  75. for security and economic prosperity in a global scale.
  76. Now,
  77. I'm sharing my works cited here
  78. and thank you very much for watching.
  79. And do you
  80. say?
