Genetically Engineered Food: The Science Behind the Controversy
Food plants modified by genetic engineering have been hailed by some as a technological marvel that will provide food security for the world's hungry, while being demonized by others as a serious threat to human health, a danger to the environment, and an economic weapon to increase the corporate control of agriculture. How does genetic engineering differ from traditionally accepted practices in crop breeding? Does genetic engineering of plants involve an unnatural breach of species boundaries? Do genetically engineered crops pose unique risks?
