FDA Asked to Impose Moratorium on GM Salmon

DeepDarkSky writes: "This NYTimes article is saying more than 60 environmental and fishermen group are asking the FDA for a moratorium on approval of genetically-modified salmon until further assessments of the impact can be made. The last paragraph of the article particularly caught my attention: 'Mr. Entis said the salmon his company was developing were not larger than other salmon at sexual maturity, they just grew faster. In addition, he said, the females will be sterile to prevent reproduction.' Elliot Entis is the president of Aqua Bounty Farms, the people who are bringing forth the GM salmon. It seems to me that instead of growth hormones, they are now turning to genetic modification to change attributes of creatures raised for food (perhaps thinking that it's "safer" than the hormones and antibiotics being injected into cows and whatnot). And the last sentence seemed to be directly from out of the first Jurassic Park movie, doesn't it?"
