All we have done is gone from old fashioned breeding of plants that was less specific to a much more exact and precise way, GM. This is the logical extension of these 1000's of years of us manipulating plants to our benefit.

Thanks Thor, but the concerns with human tampering pre GMO were and still are diversification. GMOs make that even more extreme, as the GMO species will outlive and outlast at a very fast rate the existing species.

I am actually surprised that there are posters acting like my thoughts are mine alone - this is a major issue amongst those in the industry.
