Humans have been modifying crops since forever. Everything depends on the types of changes being made to the genome. And when you guys say "the changes can be contained," I don't believe you. Dear Science, While you're in there, any chance you can make me: -A turnip that doubles as a replacement kidney (just in case)? -A pumpkin that pays me the attention I truly deserve? - Corn with more current dance moves?

Dear Science,

While you’re in there, any chance you can make me:

-A turnip that doubles as a replacement kidney (just in case)?

But now I'm concerned...are we letting a monster loose by allowing GMOs? Sounds like it. Seems like we are polluting a clear stream, so I vote no. Good material and research.
