Re: Gene escape

'Selective breeding is not the same as introducing genes from entirely different species. The impact of such radical changes on a balanced ecosystem are difficult to assess and could very well be catastrophic.'

Genes are genes, there is no such thing as fish genes, or cabbage genes.

We are all made of the same stuff - doesn't it even say something like that in the bible?

The ecosystem is not balanced, it is in a constant state of change.

Selective breeding IS the same as GMO, its just done in a different way.

Coughing on a Tuesday could very well be catastrophic, but we don't ban it.
