I love these discussions, that's why I go to extremes on both sides.

Joe, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of hazards related to todays' GMO. But can a sterile GMO-cultivar get lost in the gene-pool of nature? And what's the status today, are these cultivars we have allready destroying species? (I really don't know the answer, I am in over my head allready)
I am thinking maybe GMO could be OK, as long as environmental issues and health issues are thoroughly quality-controlled.

What I have observed is that people are generally suspicious to GMO, but primarly for health reasons, not environmental reasons. Also, a general trait of mankind is to be afriad and weary of the new and unknown. (I for example, have recieved hate-letters in my mailbox from neighbors disliking me planting tropical plants/bananas in Norway, thinking this is the end of Norway as we know it!)

I should have highlighted what I insinuated before; I have never heard of a toxic GMO on the market. Contrary, I have heard of GMO improving yields and saving lives in the 3rd world. Also, isn't most corn in the US GMO these days? Americans aren't dying like flies, are they?
