GMOs Perfected Down to the Chromosome Level

Roland Piquepaille writes "If don't like the concept of 'Frankenfoods,' I have bad news for you. U.S. researchers have developed an artificial chromosome for corn plants. The Chicago Tribune reports that researchers can now make chromosomes to order. These artificial chromosomes are accepted as natural by the plants and passed through generations. As the Monsanto Company bought rights to use this mini-chromosome stacking technology in corn, cotton, soybeans, and canola, I guess we'll soon eat food made from permanently genetically modified organisms (PGMOs?)."

It's exactly the same

The only difference is that we're actively producing the mutations we want, rather than sitting idly by and hoping they come along.

Anything "dangerous" about GMO could also happen spontaneously. Objections to it are pure technophobia and should be dismissed out of hand.

Re:Read the fucking judgement, asshole

Since when did the fucking law have any forceful control over anything NATURAL, asshole? Minus the racial and corporation-based illegality of marijuana, not ONE FUCKING BIT. Were said company to try suing me, they'd be burned to the ground, and I'd take the charge. I doubt you with your big words have the fucking balls to do it. I have the balls, and I've got the criminal record to prove it. Too bad it's illegal to kill someone for being a douchebag, but hey, that probably wouldn't stop ME from knocking on your door to collect on your fat ass. Please mod me flamebait, as it's FULLY intended to be.
