Answer:

The debate over the use of GM foods remains controversial. Every person has different ethical beliefs regarding the use of GM foods.

Supporters of the GM foods claim that this food is properly tested through experiments and is approved by the FDA. Supporters of GM foods believe that GM foods are the only suitable options to meet the food requirement for the rapidly increasing population on Earth. They think that GM foods are ethical as they help to fight against malnutrition.

On the other hands, critics of GM foods believe that GM foods will take over wildlife varieties of food. As a result, there will be lesser varieties and a disaster can lead to eradication of the entire species as there will be no genetic variability. They are also concerned that GM foods might cause certain issues which are now not being recognized in the trial experiments.
