    The document discusses a student's conceptualization of a genetically modified organism (GMO). The student drew a possible GMO that modifies an organism's characteristics by changing its DNA. Potential positive impacts of this GMO include growing crops in a healthy, abundant, and sustainable way while reducing environmental impacts. However, some ethical concerns could arise, such as potential human health effects, environmental damage, impacts on conventional farming, corporate control of GMOs, and views that genetic engineering is unnatural.

    ACTIVITY

    Instruction: Conceptualize a GMO. (Adopted from Quinto and Nieva, 2019) On


    the box provided, draw a possible GMO. In conceptualizing a GMO, think of the
    features or traits that you imagine it possesses and its potential impacts on
    society. Be ready to share your output in class. Answer the questions that
    follows.

    Questions:

    1. What is your GMO, its modified characteristics and features?

     The GMOs are species that have modified their characteristics


    by changing their DNA. Genetically engineered (GM)

    organisms, are they organisms that have their genomes. It's


    changed in a way that doesn't happen naturally. By modifying
    the genome of the organism, we can change its
    characteristics.

    2. In what ways do you think this GMO can positively impact society?

     GMO has been on the market for 20 years and, since then, the
    industry has benefited from GM production and marketing. GMO
    has had a positive effect on the way farmers grow crops, and also
    from an economic, environmental and social viewpoint. It
    supports society by growing healthy and abundant crops while
    conserving natural resources. GMO goods offer economic
    benefits to millions of customers. It also reduces emissions of
    agriculturally based greenhouse gasses (GHG) and soil erosion.
    The use of GMOs conserves water, while the use of many
    agricultural chemicals is greatly decreased by GMOs. Eventually,
    GMO technology also has the ability to change the lives of
    millions in the developing world.

    3. What ethical issues or concerns may arise as a result of this GMO?

    There are five sets of ethical issues have been raised with regards
    to GM crops: the possible harm to human health; its potential
    environmental damage; the detrimental effects on conventional farming
    practices; undue corporate dominance; and 'unnatural' technology.
