The biotechnological application of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture has increased to help

improve the production of vegetable protein and to prevent a myriad of possible viruses resulting from genetic

mutation. Among other products of GMO biotechnology are materials for medical treatment and pharmaceuticals.

The movement has increased concern and discussion about the risk and profitability of reprogramming genetic

pathways for the cultivation of plants and vegetables. This paper provides a brief overview of different perspectives

on the topic relating it to aspects of pioneering agro-biotechnology and human function viewed from the

standpoint of an outsider to the world of GMO agriculture.
