- AUB professor weighs pros and cons of genetically modified organisms.
- BEIRUT: While the positives and negatives of genetically modified organisms (GMO) are still being debated, the public and private sectors in Lebanon are in the process of defining their positions regarding the foodstuff. ... Talhouk said: "The advantage of GMOs is that we can produce better seeds, like corn for example, that would yield higher yield per a certain planted area, so our agriculture can be more efficient as we would hopefully use less chemicals and less insecticides because now we have genetically engineered plants that can fight insects on their own. ... "And what would insects do in response? Develop a super insect by evolution? If so we will be faced with an insect that can't be defeated, and a genetically modified plant spreading all over. ...
