In the year 1983 was the beginning of GMO or genetically modified organisms/ foods. Since then we have drastically changed our planet with the creation of GMO's. The human race has taken our food supply and turned it into genetically engineered food that impacts our health and environment. For example, they could spread unwanted traits into non-GM crops, produce toxins in the crop, and may harm any animal that ingests the crop, we are even slowly poisoning our own bodies, there are many risks to GMO's. With this said genetic technology for human heath and genetic technology in agriculture are both used to manipulate genes, for either specific genes you want or don't want. They are used for two very different subjects but they are not different in reason.http://thegeneticpoetics.blogspot.com/2010/11/compare-and-contrast-genetic-technology.html
