That's the luddite position.

I don't think it will last - in the future most probably all living things
will be "transgenic".

Thanks for that, I'm therefore proud to be a "Luddite".
Better than being responsible for the GM parsley fiasco in France, the GM
Sweetcorn pollen fiasco in the UK. I wouldn't mind if it was an exact
science but it isn't, even those doing it can't be certain about the outcome
as the introduced gene often causes other dormant genes to react.
I for one don't think we are knowledgeable enough yet to use GM outside the
lab.

Oh, they're certain of the outcome. The outcome is POWER and PROFITS.
They'll control all the primary methods we have for feeding ourselves &
profit by every mouthful we bite. When it goes all wrong, the profiteers
will never have to pick up the costs of cleaning up after themselves, &
won't be the ones left in the dust starving.
