A Study Of The Objective Standard On Social Effects Of The Genetically Modified Organism

Since the first Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) appeared in the world in 1998, it has been developing quickly on the whole world. Its planting area enlarges continually, more and more countries began to grow GMO. With the development of GMO, it produces a large deal of arguments. This paper will analyze the arguable contents: (1) different effects of GMO: Rising the crop's yield, improving the environment quality and the nutriment ingredient of plant, (2) many dangers of GMO: endangering the environment and the health of people.As a new technique, GMO has some advantages to the traditional plant. However, as a new thing, it may have immature and many disadvantages. In order to benefit from this new technique without any dangers, on the basis of the arguable contents, the paper put forward a series of principals with the knowledge of systematical philosophy, mathematics and ecological . agriculture: welfare principal, invariable principal of gene, non-spread principal of gene, equal principal of substance and informed perfectible principal. And then we establish a model of evaluating the social effects of GMO.Applying the model, the paper analyzes the social effects of transgemc corn and cotton. From the two examples, we can conclude that you must go for the model in order to get more social effects from GMO than from the traditional plant.On the discussion of GMO, the paper thinks that the reasons of arguments can be deduced from people's cognition, psychology, culture and economical profit. From the spread of the traditional technique and the current development of GMO, we come to conclusion that it is impossible to withhold the developing trend of GMO. We should have an attitude to favor the development of GMO. Meantime, we should popularize the knowledge of GMO and strengthen the management.
