      Hello, guys,
  We are writing to ask your opinion about bioengineering and GMO products. New technologies are developing extremely rapidly and they affect our life. Biotechnology is also moving at fast pace and transgenic technology creates both new opportunities and new dangers. At present time it is difficult to find a product which doesn’t contain any added chemical component. 
      Genetically modified food are  becoming a part of our life but there are a lot of contradictory facts about them. What do you think of transgenic technology? Is it ethical to change the genetic nature? Do you think GM food is safe for people? What products with GMO have you already met in your local supermarkets? 
    We think, to be sure that food is healthy people should see the ingredients on the package. We don’t panic about bioengineering foods but  we consider that now it is impossible to give a concrete answer to the question about the safety of GM-products. No doubt long-term research is needed. Do you agree? 
     That’s all for now. Keep in touch.
     All the best,  
                                                  Bionika

We have learned a lot about GMO and GM-products. 
What do we think about bioengineering? We can't stop the development of science and technologies. They make our life better. But GM food as well as cloning has a contradictory basis. On the one hand, transgenic technology  helps to overcome hunger, to make food production better. On the other hand, it causes a lot of problems for people, nature, animals. It is difficult to find the balance between them. 
We agree that long-term research is needed to get results safe for customers. Our team is positive  to bioengineering food, but we would like to know what we eat because it is up to us to decide what kind of food to have.
Best regards,
Healthy guys]]> 2019-02-02 14:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/marina0771512/p3s0o9j80w4o/wish/326958303 From: Okta. https://padlet.com/marina0771512/p3s0o9j80w4o/wish/327065437 To: All teams 
Hello, guys, 
Our team has learnt a lot of new and interesting information about GMO and GM products. We are writing to know your opinion on GMO. 
We live in a world in which science and bioengineering are developing rapidly. GM products fill the shelves of shops and supermarkets. But such products have both supporters and opponents. Which side are you on? 
Supporters say that genetic engineering can overcome hunger on earth, because GM-products are cheaper. It is also impossible to deny that bioengineers can create GMOs with the necessary and useful set of properties 
On the other hand, the effect of GM products on the human body is not yet fully understood. They can cause serious harm and cause allergic reactions in the body. Do you think all GM foods are dangerous for the body? 
We believe that every manufacturer should write the exact composition of food on the packaging and label of GM products. Did you pay attention to the composition of the foods you eat? Secondly, we think that scientists and bioengineers should conduct long-term research. 
Well, that’s all for now. Write to us and tell us your opinion about on GMOs and GM foods. 
Best wishes,

Hello,

We have decided to answer your letter and the questions you are interested in.
We agree that new technologies are developing extremely rapidly and affect our lives, as well as biotechnology is developing rapidly, and transgenic technology creates both new opportunities and new dangers.

You asked about transgenic technology.Transgenic technologies make it possible to combine useful genes in one organism, overcoming not only interspecies, but also natural reproductive barriers. Today, in fact, all grains and legumes, as well as many vegetables and fruits, are produced by genetic engineering, and the food industry is putting all these products on sale. We don't think it's ethical to change the genetic nature.In the course of scientific development and application of genetic technologies revealed a number of serious ethical problems associated with interference in the mechanisms of preservation of various forms of life on Earth, especially – human life. If we talk about the safety of GMOs, there are both positive and negative sides. The safety of GMOs has been tested in numerous experiments for several decades. The world was provided with more than 1800 scientific papers devoted to the study of this issue. Pros: products obtained by genetic modification do not differ from those that change under the influence of natural mutations. With the advent of GM technologies decreased the need to use agricultural chemicals. Before entering the market, the product passes thousands of samples and it lasts more than one year. Cons: Foreign protein that comes with GMO products can really cause an allergic reaction, although such cases have not yet been recorded. There may be so-called "technological waste" in transgen. a gene that increases plant resistance to herbicides can accumulate agricultural chemicals. The bad thing is that the true impact on a person and his genome can be traced only after generations. Only 5 genetically modified plants are officially approved as food in Russia: 
1. Soybean resistant to herbicides and pesticides 
2. Potatoes, toxic to the Colorado potato beetle and producing antibiotics 
3. Corn resistant to herbicides and pesticides, producing toxins against insects 
4. Pesticide-resistant rice 
5. Sugar beet resistant to herbicides.

In a small part of the research, including from Russia, it is argued that eating GMOs has negative consequences. These studies have received a wide public response and have been seriously criticized by independent scientists due to the presence of methodological, statistical and other errors.

All the best,

Hello buddies, 
 We are NCT! We are writing to you to ask you some qestions. What is a genetically modification? How do you think, GMO`s harmful for health? We would like to know what do you think about harm of GMO.
 We think, that GMO is not dangerous for a human body, but a lot of people don`t agree with us. Firstly, people need GMO, because it can help humanity with creating new varieties of plants, which will be resistan to pests. Secondly, with help of GMO explore the regularities of development of some disiases are investigated. Finaly, using method of genetic editing there was succeeded in creating pigs and they are resistance to African swine fever. But, in spite of this, a lot of people think that GMO is harmful for a human body. Experts confirm the fact that GMO doesn`t almost harm to all living things on the Earth. 
      Best wishes, 
      NCT]]> 2019-02-04 10:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marina0771512/p3s0o9j80w4o/wish/327223473 Hello everyone, podborodnikovam https://padlet.com/marina0771512/p3s0o9j80w4o/wish/327231637  We are NCT.
 We read a lot of articles and we are ready to answer your questions.
    We think that animal`s genes can provide a negative influence on a human body.  All the same, a human body is different from animal`s, so we think that a human body can`t take animal`s genes. But people mast conduct more researches about this question. 
  People need to know exactly animal genes have a negative or positive effect on a human body. As for researches, they are done and they are a lot.  One of them lasted for 30 years and finished recently. 
 GMO is very difficult question that need a lot of recearches and time. We think, that humanity doesn`t know about all positive and negative sidea of GMO products. We hope, that scientists will reveal all secrets of GMO so soon. 
  Of course, we agree that people must indicate GMO on all products with it because we must know this. 
  We confirm, that only genetically modified products will remain in our life so soon. 
   Best wishes,
