2. * Genetic engineering process * Dangers of genetic engineering
You Will Learn...
* Genetic engineering process
* Dangers of genetic engineering
* Genetic engineering food attempts
* GE foods unsafe to eat

3. Process of Genetic Engineering
~> Scientists cut genes from DNA of one organism, putting them in another organism’s tissue
~> New added gene will help the recipient organism, causing it to gain or lose the trait in question

4. Genetically engineered foods could contain:
Dangers of GE foods
Genetically engineered foods could contain:
:: Toxins
:: Allergens
:: Poisons
:: Diseases
:: Harmful side effects

5. Gentically Engineered
Food Attempts
~ Slow ripening broccoli
~ Parasite free bananas
~ Crisper celery
~ lower caffeine coffee

6. ** UNSAFE TO EAT **
-- Not enough information about GE to be 100% sure it’s safe
-- More research needs to be done
-- GE foods should be marked “temporarily unsafe”
