I also find it interesting that the anti-gmo crowd is generally obsessed with its use in food / agriculture due to "health concerns" but is absolutely unconcerned or unaware of its use in medicine. Insulin, anti-venom, vaccines, and many cancer and other serious desease fighting drugs are created using gmo's. The results and benefits of this use are widespread and undeniable. It makes me think the real issues most have are the ones stated by others in this thread rather than the science and morality of genetic engineering itself and that the fear and anger around it is misplaced.
