Here's how: Unpredictable mutation of the genetic blueprint of life Given the huge complexity of genetic coding, even in very simple organisms such as bacteria, no one can possibly predict the effects of introducing new genes into any plant. Therefore there is no way of knowing the overall, long-term effect on health. This is because: * the transposed gene may act differently when working within its new host * the original genetic intelligence of the host will be disrupted * the...
