Depends on the application, if it makes the plant inherently less susceptible to disease then I support it. If the purpose of the modification is to make it more resistant to pesticides then I disagree.
@9G72CG9 7mos7MO
Yes but not be able to patent seeds and require the lableling of foods that are genetically modified
@9G6PC5G 7mos7MO
Yes, however more research should be done about the harmful effects. So far the concerns are allergies, cancer and environmental issues.
@9G28S7D7mos7MO
Yes but only if they are ethically distributed and grown and all foods are labelled and seeds are not patented.
@9G22BFS7mos7MO
I think gene modification plant to plant is good, but animal genes in plants is bad and should be labeled
@9FY6S4K7mos7MO
Only if full research done to check food is safe for consumption and nutritional value is not reduced
