There needs to be more education and studies done. Seems pretty simple to me, but just like GMO's, they are declared "safe" universally and a large fortune spent on lobbying to avoid such studies.
I am sure GMO's can be amazing, like growing in arid climates (maybe Monsanto is causing the drought in Ca?! j/k) and feeding large populations w/ little resources. Sadly, that's not where any effort is, it's on things like making an apple not change color when it's bruised, so we can eat worse apples and think that they are good.
I think everyone would agree that more studies would be prudent, but there's people that bought into the "GMO labeling would cost more", which makes absolutely no sense but people buy it.
Same thing with vaccines. There needs to be transparency and research, there are good and bad.
There also needs to be more research into the onslaught of auto-immune diseases that are spreading rapidly. At least the H1N1 vaccine has been proven to cause an auto-immune disease (narcolepsy), which, to me, would hasten more effort to study other vaccines and the side effects.

works pretty well it seems, that was +10 years ago.uan - I think gmo should still be in research mode. the pressure for putting $ into RND and haste to cash in the market place is a risk on health.yurimon
- as far as crops, there is more economical ways of adapting droughts or engineering projects make more sense to me.yurimon
- uan - those are isolated tests. What about mutated proteins? There's a lot of side effects we just don't know what they will do down the road.formed
- GMO's are mostly about patents and control, or simply moneyformed
