Genetic engineering (GE) is a new science and because it changes DNA, the basis of life, it's very powerful. GE has numerous potential benefits and dangers.
Now with techniques that have been developed, many companies and other organizations are shooting genes from one organism into others that have never shared genes before. This has the potential, for instance, of putting pesticides directly into foods like corn. Sounds like a good idea but what happens when humans or animals eat this corn. There is NO research.
Pharmaceuticals are being GE'ed into corn and that corn can cross pollinate with regular corn growing miles away that people eat. This is contamination of our food supply.
There is a need for science, unbiased research, government regulation and the labeling of all GE foods.
