“Organic” isn’t a legally protected term (USA), so there is no basis for comparison. What it means to one company or product it might be completely different to another company or product.

The point of GMO products is to make them; more resilient in the growing stage, produce more, produce larger fruits/grains/creatures/etc, contain more nutrients, tastier, and/or more aesthetically pleasing depending on the product in question.

There’s really no danger whatsoever from GMO products, and in fact they’re more-or-less responsible for modern humans having cheap, easy access to nutritional foods. Without them, our farms would be producing a lot less food for a larger cost, so it’d be a lot more expensive at the check-out aisle.
