Content of the Project;Changing a living being’s gene sequence or making it have a totally new character that is different from its nature we can create new living organisms named Genetically Modified Organism, in short GMO.Nowadays, although scientists try to find out GMO’s advantages we just see its disadvantages. There appeared a lot of side effects that threaten human health. As a result of this, youngsters have terrible and permanent effects during their lives.With some questionnaires we observed that; people are unaware of this danger and farmers prefer GMO to produce cheaper and earn much more money. Unless we take precautions human health will be under risk. We-as Project team- are aiming to raise consciousness especially amoung our youngsters to prevent coming vital risks.
