Genetically modified organismGenetically modified organism(GMO) (GMO)
• or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organismwhose geneticmaterial has been alteredusing genetic engineeringtechniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNAtechnology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA moleculesfrom recombinant DNA technology, DNA moleculesfrom different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Excerpts from the letter of Chief Seattle in 1845 sent to the President of the United States
Every part of this earth is sacred every shining pine needle,every sandy shore,every clearing and humming insect is every clearing and humming insect is holy
The rocky crest, the juices of the meadow, the beast and all the people, all belong to the same family
Teach the children that the earth befalls the children of the earth.

Excerpts from the letter of Chief Seattle in 1845 sent to the President of the United States
The wind gave our children the spirit of life.This we know, the earth does not belong to us;
we belong to the earth.This we know, all things are connected. Our God is the same God, whose connected. Our God is the same God, whose compassion is equal to all.
For we did not weave the web of life;
We are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
