Genetic engineering of the human food supply is a highly contentious issue, with credentialed scientists arguing on each side. Most likely the controversy will continue. The effort by biotech companies to genetically modify food will continue to increase and resistance by consumers to genetically modified food will continue to grow. PRO: Genetic engineering is a valuable new technology that can develop more plentiful and nutritious foods, with great potential benefits for humanity and the environment, and this new scientific discovery needs to be implemented as quickly as possible for humanitarian reasons. CON: As with every new scientific technology, harmful side effects of genetic engineering are inevitable and great care should be taken in its implementation, including carefully controlled long-term tests on human health and environmental impacts. PRO: Genetic engineering is a natural extension of traditional breeding; just as conventional breeding allows us to combine valuable traits within closely related species, genetic engineering allows scientists to access genes from a broader range of organisms to produce more valuable and productive crops and livestock. CON: Genetic engineering uses artificial laboratory techniques, rather than natural reproductive mechanisms, techniques which breach natural reproductive barriers and combine genes from distant species in ways that could never occur in nature suddenly altering genetic patterns that have developed over millions of years, and greatly increasing the likelihood of unanticipated side effects. 25. Genetic engineering uses *artificial* laboratory techniques, .... The antonym of the word in italics is .... a. synthetic b. natural c. spontaneous d. genuine
