Three main disadvantages for GMOs include uncertainty about long-term human health effects of genes and proteins in GM foods, the objection to moving genes between species as an infringement on each species' right to exist independently and potential animal suffering, and the risk of market monopolization by multinational companies, driving up prices.
Tres desventajas principales de los OGM son la incertidumbre sobre los efectos a largo plazo en la salud humana de los genes y proteínas en alimentos GM, la objeción a la transferencia de genes entre especies como una infracción del derecho a la existencia independiente de cada especie y el potencial de sufrimiento animal, y el riesgo de monopolio del mercado por parte de empresas multinacionales, elevando los precios.

Back | -It is impossible to be certain about the long term effects on human health of the genes and proteins in GM foods
-Moving genes between species is an infringement of the right to every species to exist independently. These techniques can cause suffering in animals
-The multinational companies that develop transgenic techniques will monopolise the market, forcing up prices |
