Would you puchase genetically modified seeds? why or why not? Give three reasons.As a farmer you corn crop has been affected for the past two years...

I would not purchase GMO seeds. I believe that GMO
organisms have a great potential to do harm. We now know that some GMO plants can href="http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100806/full/news.2010.393.html">escape from
cultivation and grow wild, which may have the potential to cause permanent
harm to ecosystems. As a farmer, I would want to maintain the ecosystem on and around my
farm in good health, because a healthy ecosystem stays in balance and is less likely to
experience large outbreaks of nuisance creatures like locusts and
rodents.

GMO organisms may harm the href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10937400306469"> digestive tracts of
the animals and humans who consume them, which would be an unethical way to
make a profit.

GMO organisms are href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/4222768">bad for the environment even if
they do not escape. Also, GMO crops are patented organisms, and once you have grown
them, if the genetics are found on your farm later on, you can be sued by the company
that owns the patent; hence once you have tried GMO organisms on your property, there is
no going back.

Organic farms are healthier, and people are
willing to pay more for organic crops. I would convert the farm to
organic.
