I notice that in the GM debate there is almost never the suggestion that GM development should not be in private hands and for profit but should be socialised and for public benefit. The debate is all about the potential dangers and the greedy controlling corporations. If the corporations are greedy and controlling then taken them under public ownership and control.
Quite simply, there IS no demonstratable public benefit from GM organisims. Futher, their existence is a danger to the biosphere. Why should the public support "welfare for bio-research" for "food" that is not fit to eat? Wait! I know! Feed it to welfare recipients... We've tested it on a generation of children already, and THEY *seem* to develop normally, at least in studies financed by the same interests (government, big ag, and the bio-industry) that foist GMOs off on the world.
