Frankenstein´s Farm: A Research Summary: Frankenstein's Farm

Science sometimes seems like a myth, or a movie. I have heard rumors of human extremities grown from the body of a lab rat, tomatoes cross-bred with fish, and pigs sharing human DNA. Though the craziest part is the amount of mutated food we eat. That’s right, Mutant food, not only is it real but it fills our supermarkets.

Genetic Mutation is a Science Experiment that potentially breaks ethical, and moral, principles. DNA is being altered, meaning Plant and Animal species are genetically combined to alter their cell creation. The intention is to improve the quality of food, while also having the potential to improve human health and performance. Not only are long term effects untested, but future experiments could go in various directions. There may not always be a clear understanding of how these experiments work, and to make matters worse, the information is often vague or mislabeled. Most of the debate over GMO’s is centered around health concerns, and legal statistics, so it was interesting to read Joel Salatin’s article, Frankenstein’s

However, many of the suggestions almost feel like they are based on karma, where Mother Nature will strike back if we disrespect her. Also as I said, I do agree with the majority of the arguments here. It is rather disturbing to see actual pictures of the overcrowding of farms.
