Diploma thesis is focused on the genetically modified crops and their ethical aspects. At the beginning there were summarized existing findings about transgenic crops, biotechnologies and mechanisms of modification. Next step was the evaluation of legislation, which is valid not only for the Czech Republic but also for European Union. By the comparative method there were assessed positive and negative sides of a genetically modified food, which were followed by the questionnaire survey to find out a general awareness about GMO. The hypothesis was formulated that a genetically modified food is a solution of current food crisis. The hypothesis was confirmed, but with serious reservations. Results showed that GMO are perceived rather negatively and sceptically despite its indisputable advantages and a potential perceived in the Czech Republic and EU. This view is caused by not sufficiently conclusive scientific results concerning negative effect of this food on the human health.
