A Debate on the Genetic Alteration of Foods

In the not-so-distant past, tomatoes were never bred with pigs, nor were strawberries bred with fish, nor apples bred with chickens. However, recent advancements in the field of biotechnology now allow scientists to transcend the laws of Nature. In today's agriculture, dozens of food crops have been genetically altered in order to improve growing characteristics or to enhance their qualities for the market, and these crops are being prepared for commercial production (Bahr 621). Large companies support the work in genetic engineering, looking to profit greatly by it, but the work has no…
