Would you buy these transgenic plants?

Please help out a researcher studying useful applications of transgenic plants by answering three simple questions below. The reason behind this questionnaire is to determine whether genetically modified household and garden plants would be accepted by gardeners. Please reply either to the newsgroup or to me directly. Would you purchase the following genetically modified plants? Assume that the price of the plant was reasonable. Please specify which you would be interested in, if any. 1. A flowering houseplant (for example a scented geranium) modified to produce three times more aroma than regular flowers. I would buy I would not buy it 2. A transgenic indoor ivy that removed toxic chemicals from household air 100 times better than regular plants. I would buy I would not buy it 3. A genetically modified blue rose. I would buy I would not buy it 4. A transgenic houseplant that efficiently removed odors such as hydrogen sulfide from the air. I would buy I would not buy it Thanks for your help! Haven't most of these been done already in part by nature.. Bar the blue rose. In any case we are all already eating transgenic Soy in a large proportion of our foods. There is little logical point behind transgenic ornamentals other than monetary gain. Current view is I would avoid knowingly buying any transgenic plants for at least 100 year testing period (preferably more) // J |
