(40,416 posts)There is no qualitative difference between what nature does to modify genetics and what humans do. If a genetic modification, whether by cross breeding or by changing specific genes, has a deleterious effect on the organisms survivability, the outcome is the same fucking thing. The cultivar does not survive.
It is the same damned thing. That is something every one should have learned in high school biology. I am really worried that some here do not understand that basic science here.
All they do is blab about Monsanto, a non sequitur, and cite shoddy non-peer reviewed garbage. Garbage-in garbage-out.
Cite me a peer reviewed paper that documents what stops genetic modification from being the same damned thing as what nature is already doing. Where is the line of demarcation? If you cannot document that, you have absolutely nothing. And just because humans are doing it is not an answer.
