GMO's are made to have resistance to certain pests, diseases, or environmental conditions, or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide), or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. It's a controversial thing but really the worst that could happen is horizontal gene transfer, which isn't even going to hurt anyone.
Yea but I have read in the news that Monsanto is hiding studies that shown very bad effects of some GMO on liver. I don't know how the hell we can really trust this shitty company which is creating most of the GMOs.
The problem with Monsanto and similar companies isn't the science, the problem is what they do in courts and political lobbying, it's an Intellectual Property problem and a Patent problem and those two systems are broke.
Mega corporations have a shit load of money for influence politics and that's what they do.
When they have the right to patent ideas and genes, they go after everyone just to maintain their monopoly, and very few people can battle them in courts.
