> There is no fundamental difference between genetic modification done in a lab then done with selective breeding. That's just not true at all. You cannot selectively breed corn to start secreting Miracle Gro. You cannot selectively breed salmon to have eel DNA. This is a canard that the GMO companies try to push; that it's "exactly the same", but it's an absurd statement. Yes you can say if you had literally millions or billions of years you could breed mice to glow in the dark, but that's like saying if I had millions or billions of years my random text generator would eventually write the works of Shakespeare (because you are relying on random mutation to give you that glowing gene eventually in the case of breeding for it.) And again, this statement is made only in some ridiculous attempt to draw a line between something people are comfortable and familiar with and genetic engineering. It's silly. There's a huge difference between selectively breeding my dogs and taking an embryo from one and inserting octopus DNA to try to make them have ink sacs.
