I would like to thank LegitDebater for presenting his rebuttals.

My Final Refutations and Arguments
GMOs are Unhealthy
"Reliable organizations" affliation with Bio-tech companies
Con states that reliable organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society of Medicine etc. support GMOs. Well, many of those organizations have affliations with Bio-tech companies. In Proposition 37, (law that required GMO labeling) the AAAS announced that "mandating such a label can only serve to mislead and falsely alarm consumers." Interestingly enough, Nina Federoff was the board chair for the AAAS. She also had a board membership with the Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company. Therefore, many of these science organizations (AAAS) have an affliation with Bio-tech companies aren't actually working for science. [1]

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
