I think, to understand her concerns, you would need to be in the field. I’m pretty smart, and I have plenty of layman knowledge, but I’m completely lost once she gets technical.
The summary of the issue, as I understand it, is as follows.
The modifications do much more than we realised, and the impacts are poorly tested. That’s the gist. It’s enough for me to go “there could be dragons here”, but I honestly haven’t bothered to try and change any purchasing decisions. I think the horse has already bolted anyway. Doesn’t the gmo end up in pretty much everything regardless?
- dade_ 3y agoour understanding of DNA is pretty basic. I’d say we’re using a hatchet to do surgery. Did she make any reference to studies?
