Perhaps it's the bigger picture that you can't see
If all Crops were GM, then bugs and animals and won't eat it unless
nothing else left. That might be good right?, if the bugs die due to lack of
food then that will effect the entire food chain. Alternativly the Bugs turn
into Super Bugs being resiliant to anything we throw at them.
Putting all life at risk because of few bean counters and lawyers deciding
what lives and whats dies has to be a really bad idea.
Nature has been doing this for donkeys years by cross pollination of near
similar plants. But mad scientists come along and start inserting parts of
salmon DNA into things like corn. It's not that different from science
screwing around with better ways to kill bugs. Kitchen Anti-Bacteria that
kills 99.99% of bugs, the .01% that survives starts breeding like rabbits
and becomes a super bug. Nature always finds a way to survive in any
given environment.
Then there's the other thing scientists like to do, Introduce a new species
into a environment to kill a known pest. The cure then becomes a bigger
pest than the pest you were trying to get rid off. Unlike a computer,
Nature does not have an Undo button.
The big difference is Nature makes minor changes taking hundreds of
thousands of years, but these mad scientists want to achive the same
results within a few years.
karma's a bitch, eh?
