You didn’t acknowledge how this is unique to GMO. I provided at least two examples of conventional breeding that has documented evidence of causing harm to a sub-population yet went to market. If these had been GMOs they likely never would have gone to market because the regulatory requirments and analysis would have…

No I haven’t, because, as was pointed out to you, they know the specific modification that was introduced and can assess it. There are no GMOs modified with a possible allergen, thus no label. Unlike in conventional breeding which has no required regulatory testing. You may want to look up the lenape potatoes, and…

No I haven’t “because” as pointed out to you, they know what specific modification was made and can test for it. There are no GMOs engineered with even a potential allergen hence no label. This unlike, say, conventional breeding which undergoes no testing in new varieties. Check out the lenape potatoes. And kiwi was…

yeah, that's a pipetman being held over that guy'd eye. They're used to move microliter volumes around. Granted. It works like a syringe in that it uses a thumb plunger, but they just dripped it on.

we're the only mammals that drink milk after infancy"... oh reeeeeeally

Moreover, touching on some of the other comments made in this thread, This (Parada's) Vader is far less ceremonial/formal looking then the Vader of Episode IV. Comments have been made about Vader being a silent, sleek, bureaucratic kind of evil and that the Empire was meant to evoke Nazis, but weren't Vader's designs…

there are people doing studies in organisms like echinoderms and looking for trends across the animal kingdom for what biological characteristics are associated for longevity. Oddly enough, and contrary to the article, one of them is the ability to maintain healthy reproductive organs. In what I was reading (or…

I like Max Landis's pitch on Nerdist better.

MOLECULAR MOTORS! My guess this is probably the motor protein kinesin strutting along a microtubule.

the Terminator technology never made it to market, lawsuits against seed-saving are due to license agreements on patented technology. Patents are finite, they eventually expire. This is not very different from media piracy eg, bootleg movies/music and media sharing. "supporting the original genetic robustness and…

Unless you've expressed it elsewhere in the thread, perhaps you could articulate your opposition to GMOs. You've conceded above that there is no evidence that they are inherently harmful for human health. "Full stop". So is your opposition political? Moral? Religious?

no you're creating false balance. When the scientific consensus and study after study by credible researchers in peer-reviewed literature come out on the safety of GMOs, it's the anti-GMO crowd that then proceeds to move the goal posts ever farther back. It is not beneath me or any one to discuss specific arguments…

the fundamentals are the same, the combination of genetic elements yielding a genetically different offspring. The difference you're concerned about is that selective breeding is like using a chainsaw whereas genetic engineering is like using a scalpel.

However, we do have databases of known allergens, and it would be pretty standard to be on the look out for potential allergenecity if your donor dna for your trait of interest came from an organism known as an allergy source. I'd have to look up the cite, but I recall an GM plant that was having a brazil nut gene…

There are very few direct to consumer GM crops. You've got papya, some squash, I think a cucumber and just recently a sweet corn. However, with the exception of the papaya, these are not wide spread yet and hence, not as common to get a hold of. In the case of the papaya, it was nearly wiped out by ring-spot virus so…

You guys! What about Ready Player One!

that's because it was a rhombus.
