My general concern in regards to GMO is the long-term effect. Can we really control what's going to happen down the road when certain species make it back into nature and crossbreed with others? Or will they be less healthy?
These are natural variations which appear in nature also.variegated Bucephalandra and Anubias
I think the real ethical argument centres on the conflict between the use of GM technology for making a quick buck rather than its use for easing the suffering of humanity.
GM tech is used and abused even if it's for easing the suffering of humanity. Ranging from health care providers, insurance companies and the entire pharma cartel. Things may still be better in Europe, but the US system is brutal and sucks every cent out of humanity.
Monsanto is another example and doesn't need any further explanation.
I think I'd classify all of the above as in it to make a fast buck...
I wouldn't generally buy from pets at home the tanks are not great but they only arrived yesterday as one of there specials once there gone there gone kinda thing
What do you mean by fast bucks
There is always biological cost - cell energy and “manufacturing” machinery and components that would go into more useful proteins etc is instead diverted to this novel molecule which offers no evolutionary advantageThey won’t have any interference in nature.
