  5. Re:Two Problems on Scotts Testing Genetically Modified Grass · · Score: 1

    Correct, but the fear also has to do with statistics and increased "exposure".
    Blending of fish and plants genes normally don't occur in nature.

    Also
    Current methods are not failproof.
    When we insert a gene we generally have no control where it's inserted. There is a possibillity of new expressions of existing genes, dormant genes can become active and new "codes" can be created.

    I like the possibilities with gene-modification, but beeing careful is a virtue.

    remember?
    - DDT is completely safe!

  6. Two Problems on Scotts Testing Genetically Modified Grass · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Basically two problems:

    1. Modified grass spreads and become "Superweed".
    2. Modified genes spread to other species, either by hybridization or vectors such as bacteria. (Agrobacterium tumefaciens as an example)

    This is what opposers are afraid of. /Tobias

  10. Shape-combo on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 1
