Genetic mutation happens for a reason, evolution. What is the reason for companies changing DNA?
Do scientist really know the longterm effects, on an ecosystem, when altering a plants or an animals DNA?
The director of UK’s prestigious Rowett Research Institute has stated: “The perception that everything is totally straightforward and safe is utterly naive. I don’t think we fully understand the dimensions of what we’re getting into.”And:
We have such a miserably poor understanding of how the organism develops from its DNA that I would be surprised if we don't get one rude shock after another." -Professor Richard Lewontin, professor of genetics, Harvard University.
Not very comforting if you ask me. What do you think?
