By: Esther Sim
Health Impacts
-altering the genetic makeup of crops can potentially cause new allergenic properties
-food can become antibiotic resistant
-can cause development to new human diseases
-can cause birth defects and infant mortality
Environmental Impacts
-alteration to a plant might make it harmful for another organism that relies on it for food
-can possibly upset the balance of the food chain
-can eventually create a "super weed"
