I chose pros of GMO

Comments that can be included

1. Genetically modified organisms helps in the betterment of human life
2. They are very much helpful in the current life
3. Example in case of COVID 19 outbreak many tests are conducted in genetically modified organisms to understand the working of viruses , to find the vaccine and to make and effective vaccine . For all these purposes genetically modified animal are used :. ( reply to comments!!! it seems like if you are infected with COVID 19 then you will rejected your medication just because it was tested on a genetically modified organisms??)
4. Genetically modified organisms are resistant to different varieties of disease as of the current situation where many disease outbreaks are occuring
5. They help inmaking the yield of crops twice from the same area of land
6. Helps in increased productivity of animal products eg; milk from genetically modified cows

From all these it is evident and clear that GMO are important to human survival
