Opposing Genetically Modified Organisms
As a result of biotechnology and its wake of controversy that follows, a number or organizations have voiced their concerns toward the corporate driven discipline. As a product of biotechnologies carelessness, or motives, activist groups have risen throughout the world opposing the novelty of genetically modified organisms. The intent of biotech companies is to market and eventually sell these innovations, eventually increasing their profits and stock prices so new products can be funded while the shareholders line their pockets. Opposing organizations which see biotechnologies incentives as a danger to society and the many other life forms that exist on our planet interrupts such a process. Greenpeace is perhaps the biggest organization in opposition to genetically modified organisms. Greenpeace is an international environmental organization which fights to help protect and restore the environment. It is currently involved in a number of areas including; climate, toxics, nuclear, oceans, ocean dumping, forests and the somewhat novel area of genetic engineering. According to Greenpeace, genetically modified organisms must not be released in the environment, as the consequences for the environment and evolution are unpr
However, the consumers serve as the main allies for these activist groups. If objecting organizations can reach the public by informing them of the possible dangers of GMO's, then a far louder outcry will result. This will also effect political ties. If members of congress side with the biotech corporations, and activists reach the minds of the consumers, the fate of one getting re-elected is at stake. The votes of the people can persuade a political figure in addressing their needs, in turn, aiding the activist groups in their fight.
