I feel like any company who wants to sell genetically modified seeds should have to ship a computer OS with _literally zero bugs_ first.
@taradinoc GMOs can use any number of genes from any number of organisms. There's no law saying they can only pick 1 gene from 1 organism.

@taradinoc Plus, GMOs can reorder or insert anywhere, whereas cross-breeding can't. GMOs are strictly a superset.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori But in practice they do. In practice cross-breeding is performed with very little insight or understanding of what may happen. -

@cmuratori See purebred dogs where optimizing one trait leads to unexpected disease. Maximizing apple size may also maximize cyanide contentThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori So given a GM seed containing 1 selected, studied, foreign gene, and a cross-bred seed, I'd label the second one first. -
@taradinoc Labeling isn't the problem here, although obviously more information is always good. It's catastrophic consequences in the wild. - Show replies
