This sort of evidence is pointless. It takes one single reproducible instance of harm to disprove it. Health is longitudinal, GMOs young.

And yet that one case has yet to happen..? That's all the proof we have of the safety of at least most things, isn't it?

Yeah, except those things are centuries old. It's taken centuries for climate change to manifest visibly. So what?

So we keep researching it until what exactly? We understand genetics 100%..?

We just don't fuck ourselves over completely in the arrogant assumption that we understand what we've created. But we will anyway, so meh.

If we're going to criticise this stuff, I think we should be very careful and explicit in what we're criticising.

I am being very precise. I am criticising the hubris of abandoning the scientific method and the test of time in favor of projected gain.

We declare drugs safe based on 5-10 year trials, but severe side-effects span decades, even generations. Similar racket.

If a drug saves or dramatically improves your life in a ten year window but kids you after 50, you've still won, though?

I have several friends who would disagree. One guy can't have kids because drugs the UK safety-tested shrank his testicles. He's not alone.
