We don't know what GM crops might do to other crops or to the myriad of eco systems. Too many times we have heard from governments and scientists 'it is safe', they told us humans could not be affected by Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, how wrong they were! Thalidimide is another that springs to mind. GM will not help the starving, they are not going to give the seeds or technology away, they generate too much profit to consider that, Nor will GM crops help the people suffering because of failed crops due to lack of water. GM crops will not stop governments selling food and getting rich while their people starve, all they will do is put more money into the large companies, to ensure they don't starve!
It is not as if they will be produced in an enclosed environment, they will contaminate the foods of those that prefer not to eat genetically modified materials. Can the government/scientists guarantee that the organic foods many have spent a fortune setting up, will be unaffected?
From reading many of the different articles, it would appear that more than a few scientists don't believe it is a wise course to follow either!
