                             No More use of Genetically Modified Organism(GMO)

5 Major Effects on Genetically Modified organism:

1. Genetically modified organisms consist of multiple deleterious genes with beneficial genes.
2. Genetically altered organisms are vulnerable for further mutations.DNA integration in host genome cause insertions mutagenesis. 
3. These organisms are easier targets for the pandemic disease due to lower resistance against disease.
4. Organism face stress due to gene manipulation.
5. Some modified organisms face infertility.

5 Major Effects on Human Health:

1. Sometimes GMO cause allergic reactions in peoples.
2. Nature can't afford the alterations or interfere in true breeding.
3. GMO plants most of the times produce the toxic pollen that cause the danger for the health of insects.
4. It is reported infant mortality and cancer in humans by GMO.
5. GMO cause the reductions in Immune system in humans.

Conclusion:
       Heavy cost, less available, species stress, ecosystem threat and vulnerable to disease and pest give us the solid reasons to leave the GMO. Further you want to study or references than join us in discussions.
