No, GM foods are not safe. Genetic modification involves technology that is still relatively young, and enough testing has not been done to ascertain its effect on potential human health impact. Nobody knows the long term effects of GM foods on humans or the environment. I think more time is needed to verify its effect before we will know the definitive answer with regard to safety. Is there any standard or criteria that is accepted by all over the world. I'm not sure whether it exists or not. If it exists and regulates genetic modification, is it perfect? I'm afraid nothing is ever perfect. In terms of this question, I'd definetly say "NO". However, as my wistful thinking, genetic modification can be a driving force to improve our technology. Through making an effort to secure food, this technology can also eventually contribute to the public good and improve our lives. Not only food but also stem cell technology.
In conclusion, we can receive huge benefit from genetic modification.
