"Something else which has changed is that genetic modification is no longer new. GM crops have been grown commercially around the world for more than a decade, and have been eaten by millions. Scary health effects that were always the most potent fears for average consumers (though perhaps also the least credible) have failed to materialise. And while the impact of GM crops has been far from benign in all instances, the logic that every case of manipulating plant genes is bad and dangerous is now demonstrably false." - klemo from Bookmarklet
