What do you mean about ethical problems with GM? There are certainly people who complain about it on what they claim are ethical ground, but that's not the same. I can't think of many ethicists who're opposed to all GM on principle - the strongest objection is a practical one, on the assumption that it'd be a good idea to keep manipulated genes out of the wider ecosystem (though why this should be important baffles me...). This isn't an argument against GM, though: it's against poorly-managed GM.

Let's face it: we've been genetically manipulating foods for thousands of years. All we're doing now is getting better at it.
