Jonah is participating in an online class discussion. Students are discussing a class reading about the risks and benefits associated with genetically modified foods—or foods that have been engineered by scientists to make them easier to grow. Jonah just read a post by a student who argues that these foods can help end world hunger and that that is worth any cost to the environment. Jonah disagrees with the opinion expressed in the post he just read. What should he do?
