It's Just A Fish

Why does the phrase "genetically engineered" throw people into such a flurry of mindless panic? How could gene splicing possibly make an animal unsafe to eat?

So, do you think inbuilt sterility for crops is a good idea? How do you feel about corporations suing neighboring farmers for having crops that ended up cross pollinated by said corp's GM varient because the farmer didn't pay to use their GM crop.

The questions around GM crops aren't just health related, things like IP law are a factor as well.
