Court vs Science

Long ago, the use science of in agriculture was not that widespread, but through time our farmers found it helpful in their work of origin. Before us is an issue of the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), particularly, the Bt Talong. Bt talong is defined by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) as a common soil bacterium that contains a gene which produces a protein harmful pests that destroys eggplant crops.

The plain understanding of the use of GMO is that, it is a process wherein a chemical is used to improve crops. First, we must weigh things in order for us to think whether the courts should interfere with the use of GMO. The advantages of GMO is that it preserves the quality of crops, makes it pest resistant and gives it a better quality. However, GMOs are also found to be dangerous to human health causing cancer and other diseases because it contains a great number of chemicals which may be very harmful to humans. By this analyzations, we may conclude that the court’s interference is necessary to tackle the dispute. The government as the parent of the state, should always be observant and show strict authority to its people. The best interest of the public must always be put into consideration. According to scientists, not all GMOs are harmful to humans, it may be harmful to pests but it doesn’t mean that we also generalize the effect of GMOs to human. Some GMOs have a negative effect on humans but some of them are just ordinary crops that doesn’t give us any harmful effects. The issue on GMO is a serious matter because it may endanger humanity. The court’s decision to put TRO against GMO is correctly made. The long period of use of GMO alarmed our government because of its negative effects. It fears that the GMOs may greatly affect our economy, agriculture and the human being.  Our court should meticulously study about the matter because whenever the court interferes into issues involving our country, its people are obliged to submit to its authority.

There is a saying that “We are what we eat,” if we want to have a longer life span, we should be observant on what we eat. Our government is indeed responsible for the welfare of its people but we in ourselves should be vigilant especially to anything that we consume. GMOs may be beneficially to our country because it assures farmers the good harvest and gives them the opportunity to import their crops and make a good living. However, we should think of the circumstances of whatever actions we make because it may greatly affect our lives.
