# I'm not saying tomato with fish genes is wrong - I'm citing it as an example of GM, to illustrate the cross-pollination aspect.

# I'm saying it is wrong though
because you are using an example of a thing that did not quite happen in the manner that you report it to support an argument that is based solely on your opinion and resistance to progress.
"Tomatoes with anti-freeze proteins already present in the food being switched on after studying how the same proteins work in Arctic flounder" Does not really have the same shock effect does it?

# OK - I'm sorry.
Here you go then: "Untested GM stuff shouldn't be allowed into the cycle."

Is that better?

# It puts us back to the beginning
as I don't know what you mean by untested.
As I said, The world health organisation monitors this. The national authorities are required to carry out thorough risk assessments for human and environmental health risks so assuming that's what you mean then I agree with you but considering that's the way it is now I don't see what you are wanting to change.
