    Why is a genetically modified tomato no longer a tomato?

    • because it had to get to the other side?hans_glib
    • Finally, a solid answer!
      I've been asking Rendle the same question in 20 different ways.

    • Species can be defined by DNA but also, and more usually Sexual Compatibility, Karyotype, Morphology or Ecological Niche.Morning_star
    • Tomatogate.

    • You genuinely don't understand the difference between a tomato and a genetically modified tomato?Rendle
    • @Morning_star

      Y/N?

    • You genuinely don't understand that the act of genetically modifying something, makes it a different thing to the original? Genuinely?Rendle
    • Why oh why am I wasting time talking to youRendle
    • an apple grafted from another apple tree is genetically modified. Is it still not an apple?_niko
    • What is the genus of this non-tomato?
      What are we to call it?

    • @_niko
      According to Rendle it's not. He'll call it an apple but claim it's not an apple.

    • We were talking about legality. You can't own the rights to an organism created by nature, but if you GM it, you can.Rendle
    • How are you not able to fathom that simple concept?Rendle
    • I think he still hasn't understood my question.palimpsest
    • I have already accepted you can claim ownership to a GM tomato. I just want to know how it's no longer a tomato.palimpsest
    • You're now a genetically modified human being you daft cunt. Deal with it.Rendle
    • I accepted that the very first time you posted it.
      I want to know how this tomato is no longer a tomato!!!!

    • Scratch that, I don't care how it becomes a non-tomato. I only want to know it's taxonomical classification.palimpsest
    • Somebody help me.
      Please.
      It's a simple question.

    • You have no concept whatsoever as to how much of a fool you sound, do you?Rendle
    • I guess I don't.palimpsest
    • You say tomato I ask tomato?palimpsest
    • If you understand the concept of the GM human being we were discussing, which was the whole point of the tomato analogy...Rendle
    • ... then why the utter living fuck are you still going on about tomatoes? You've literally made about 20 posts about tomatoesRendle
    • ... and you don't even have an inkling into how much of a fool you're coming across?Rendle
    • Yes, that's the point. I've had to ask about tomatoes in 20 different ways because you brought them up and you still haven't answered a simple question.palimpsest
    • We can talk about the taxonomy of GM humans if you prefer.palimpsest
    • I have to confess I'm a bit scared since you seem to place GM tomatoes outside of the genus or kingdom even?palimpsest
    • You really are a fucking half wit, aren't you.Rendle
    • I've seen your qbn mugs. It all made perfect sense when I saw that. You're a low testosterone beta male simp.Rendle
