Depends what they mean by "genetic". Mixing genes by cross breeding is a lot different than adding genes from other species, or constructed genes that are patented. There are two kneejerk reactions in this debate: The first is from the anti-science crowd who shit on everything. The second is from the wannabe scientist crowd who like shitting on anti-science people but usually aren't very savvy themselves. Both are problematic as they crowd out experts and regulators.
