According to the reading, there is ample support for the author’s claim that GM crops give people great benefit. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point. First, the professor contends that GM crops are not a real solution for hunger. There are enough foods in the world, but the problem is caused by unequal distribution. Also, people who are hungry are hard to access to the GM crops. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that GM crops can produce much more crop yields, which can solve the problem of world hunger. Next, the professor insists that GM crops do not reduce the price of food. This is because the company which invests GM crops expects a lot of benefits. Also, GM corps require more water, bringing about spend more money. As a result, GM crops are going to be expensive. This counters the reading passage’s assertion that GM crops, which are more tolerant to environmental, and produce stable supply, can lower the food prices. Finally, the professor argues that eatable vaccines also have same problem. Edible vaccines are made of bananas and tomatoes, which easily and quickly spoiled. Therefore, eatable vaccines store cool condition continuously. It means it is not hard that edible vaccines cannot be used widely. This refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that GM crops produce vaccines that can be more extensively accessible thanks to easy storing and shipping, In conclusion, for these reasons, the professor disagrees with the author’s point. |
