I don't know how to feel about Genetically modified organisms.

They are used to produce many medications as well as foods. They are also used in scientific research and the production of other goods.

I feel the same way about GMOs

The first ever modified mouse was in 1974. I guess this is when this all started. The first plant was produced in 1983.

I think the more specifically defined type of GMO, a transgenic organism,  is important.

GMO food controversies are also an issue, there are disputes over the use of foods and othergoods derived from genetically modified crops instead of conventional crops.
