Default My stand about GM plants/crops

John Towill wrote or quoted:

My complaint is the oil seed rape that is being modified to withstand weed
killers. All very well except:
1) Weed killer will then be sprayed on the crop willy nilly causing damage
to other plants, including I suspect in adjacent fields and garden.
2)Rape has already spread to become a nuisance weed, killing the modified
version will become very difficult.

So my bitch is not about GM per se but the thoughtless (I think)
modifications that are being done.


There will inevitably be some stupid modificaitons - by all means
criticise those.

http://members.tripod.com/c_rader0/gemod.htm#early lists some
of the not-so-stupid ones, though - and many seem worthwhile.
