[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7732689, member: 348"] I think you’re confusing Gene Editing with Genetic Modification. No genes are introduced from another species with GE, the gene is simply edited, to remove undesirable traits. This is exactly what happens, albeit in a more blunt and long winded manner, with selective breeding and culling. GM involves the introduction of genetic material from another species, whether that be resistance to glyphosate or the development of a COVID vaccine. [/QUOTE]
