The organisation set up by the Indian Government to take decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM-organism is:

Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC)

The correct answer is Option (1) –Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC)

The unregulated manipulation of living organisms by humanity must be curbed. To assess the moral implications of actions that impact living beings, we need ethical standards in place.

Beyond ethical concerns, the biological consequences of such actions are of paramount importance. Altering the genetic makeup of organisms can lead to unforeseen outcomes when these organisms are introduced into their ecosystems.

As a response to these challenges, the Indian Government has established organizations like the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC). These entities are tasked with determining the validity of genetic modification research and ensuring the safety of introducing genetically modified organisms for public use.

The modification and utilization of living organisms for public purposes, such as food and medicine production, have also raised issues related to patents. There is a growing public outcry over certain companies being granted patents for products and technologies that make use of genetic materials, plants, and other biological resources that have been identified, developed, and traditionally used by local farmers and indigenous communities in specific regions or countries.
