I think that it is simply a matter of time before science uncovers significant, negative health-safety consequences with respect to genetically engineered crops. Recombinant DNA technologies were discovered in 1973 and were not used commercially until 1996. This technology (which can employ trans-kingdom transgenics as well as trans-species transgencis) is potentially dangerous, and its discovery triggered the 1975 Asilomar Conference in Pacific Grove, California. From a July 1, 2007 article in the New York Times (’A Challenge to Gene Theory, a Tougher Look at Biotech’ - Denise Caruso): “Evidence of a networked genome shatters the scientific basis for virtually every official risk assessment of today’s commercial biotech products, from genetically engineered crops to pharmaceuticals.” This is often the course for scientific proclamations: what is ‘safe’ today is a health hazard tomorrow. Safety first. Once they are let loose on the environment, you cannot recall genes.
