For me, GM is a good thing, I feel, whilst considering the population rising and an increased need for food, GM can help to provide food as we enter an uncertain future.
What makes them so good? I believe that we are still in the early stages of finding out what is good about them, there may be plenty more we could used them for as we discover more.
Genetically modifying a plant is a lot quicker than breeding a plants for what we need them to do, given the nature of the world time is of the essence, and plants grow very slowly
This is why it is important that we keep an interest GM plants.
Many of the fears surrounding GM stem from a lack of understanding, this is why I feel we should learn and discover more about what makes them so good. Or even to discover what make them bad, at least we’d know for sure!
