You seem angry.
I had no intention of discrediting your post.
You called a word grouping a sentence. It is not a sentence.
I do not know many facts regarding how our food sources are being genetically altered. Without real data how could I effectively discredit your post?
I also don’t know the rigor of existing regulatory hurdles to bring a modification idea to market.
I suspect those hurdles are about twenty feet high.
I am not entirely uncomfortable with genetic engineering because I did a fair bit of it as a graduate student. Introducing a transgene expressed in particular sunsets of cells in an adult organism is not scary to me.
It started as a mouse. After my changes, it remained a mouse.
For Monsanto to take the idea of using the BTK protein as a corn-expressed pesticide against Corn Borers was a process spanning over 2 decades. I would wager having tomato plants express fish antifreeze protein took similarly as long. I am a simple man but would imagine part of that time span was spent ensuring the crop would be safe to eat.
>>When has there ever been a good thing come out of bio-engineering anything?<<
Glow fish.
I rest my case.
Better fishing bait?
At least night fishing.
Luciferin is a protein expressed in the fish. That protein emits photons through cleavage of ATP. It is not a ‘dye’ injected into the fish.
No. Those studies were done with pioneering of the technology.
I did have a line where all the females made pregnant by the transgenic male founder ended up dying on the day they should have delivered their pups. Needless to say that line ended when the founder died. Suspecting the transgene integrated into a protein necessary for placental separation from the uterine wall.
We have all been little lab rats.
