Instructional Video Catalog: Title Description Are genetically modified foods a vital scientific breakthrough that will help to end world hunger and reduce global pollution, or are they Frankenfoods that will ruin health and provoke environmental disaster? Through genetic modification biotech scientists have unprecedented power to manipulate the genetic code. Critics fear toxic or allergenic effects, or that genes from engineered plants will spread, overwhelming old species and creating new strains of uncontrollable superweeds and superbugs. In contrast, genetic engineers claim traditional plant breeding because they are manipulating only one or two specific genes and they can easily test effects. Moreover, the implications for global health are staggering, they argue.
