i am tired of people going "gmos are untested, let's wait a few generations and see if anything happens".
first of all, they _are_ tested, and pretty much all peer-reviewed studies say they're safe.
second, how does anyone imagine running a human study across several generations? that's at least 60 years.
third, no other new technology had to pass the "let's wait a few generations" test. we didn't have to wait half a century before adopting the steam engine. or cars. or computers. or the internet.
@devurandom add to that the fallacy that random modifications of the plants or animals by viruses, crossbreeding or random mutations are 'natural' and thus safe?🙄
I think that the problem with GMO is not the technology but the companies doing this for shareholder profit, like so many other things that go wrong in our world currently 😑.
