More potential major beneficial GM developments

Sorry, John, it is the methane coming out the other end which is the problem and which needs to be reduced.
Breathing is not the problem.

I think there is a lack of knowledge about GM. GM is not the same as traditional breeding / cross breeding. GM is produced by creating by un-natural methods new DNA chains, with unpredicatable results. The science is totally inexact. Read the book "Seeds of Deception" for an excellant insight.

Which is why I don't want to stop people from doing it (if you don't take risks, you never know what goodies you might miss out on), but it shouldn't be forced on people who DON'T want to take the risk.

That's why I don't like the crops situation. There is very little you can do with cross contamination, unless you completely seperate them, witch would cost a fortune to do.

Therefore, in the unlikely event of one of these changes making your third generation of childrens testicles drop off, then the people who didn't want to touch the stuff, but were forced (especially without knowledge) too can feel rightly agreived.
