Café Scientifique: GMOs : A Question of Ethics, Survival, or Health?


November 30, 2010


Genetically modified organisms have already begun appearing on our plates. For some, these products promise a better world: a world without famine, in which agricultural chemicals are used less and less. Others see GMOs as a threat to the environment and to health. Should we be afraid of genetically modified organisms, or should we see them as agriculture’s brave new frontier?
Café Scientifique is a forum where, for the price of a coffee or glass of wine, adults can get together and talk about recent - and sometimes controversial - developments in science and technology. The Canada Science and Technology Museum moderates the discussion between invited experts and the general public. Lively discussions guaranteed!
