"Say No to Genetic Engineering." Greenpeace. Greenpeace International, n.d. Web. 12 Oct. 2011.

In this article, the Greenpeace Organization was stating reasons against the support of genetic engineering. They claim that by introducing new strains of genetically modified plants, these plants will spread unrestrained through the environment and will "contaminate" non-genetically engineered plants. Doing this will effect future generations in unforseen ways as their has not been enough research on the effects of genetically altered plants.

The author's intent was to persuade those who are pro-genetic engineering or on the fence that genetic modification of plants should not be allowed. There was a very clear bias.
