Genetic engineering applied to agriculture has a long row to hoe

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT In spite of the lack of scientific justification for skepticism about crops modified with molecular techniques of genetic engineering, they have been the most scrutinized agricultural products in human history. The assumption that “genetically engineered” or “genetically modified” is a meaningful – and dangerous – classification has led to excessive and dilatory regulation. The modern molecular techniques are an extension, or refinement, of older, less precise, less predictable methods of genetic modification, but as long as today's activists and regulators remain convinced that so called “GMOs” represent a distinct and dangerous category of research and products, genetic engineering will fall short of its potential.
