Interesting number of comments on this thread, I posted this thread after doing a news search on GMOs because of a disagreement I had with a commenter on another thread.
It amazes me how many people are OK with the currently accepted practice of growing food such as soy, wheat and corn using GMOs but move just one tick up the food chain and it's heresy.
Personally I would love to tinker around with Crispr and a gene gun to grow some glowing plants etc. But I am afraid of what greedy corporations are currently doing with the same tech.
This is truly a personal hypocrisy or paradox that I can't square other than admitting my own arrogance on this subject.
