Misleading arguments commonly used by biotech advocates
Genetic engineering is totally different. A piece of foreign genetic material is artificially inserted into the genes, (see "What is genetic engineering?" [EL]). As the molecular biologist Michael Antoniou says: "Genetic ... on interaction with its surroundings. So contrary to what this argument implies, the genetic engineers have no control over the outcome of gene insertion. In addition, because of ...
