    • "Oddly enough, religious and moral beliefs may carry more weight with lawmakers and industry regulators than consumer attitudes do. Combating the secrecy surrounding GMOs may only be possible with strong religious and moral arguments for equal tolerance and respect in play."

    • What would happen if a GMO company found it had introduced a flaw into a new genetic product but that organism was already replacing the natural organism in the environment? There are no safe product recalls in this business.
