On one hand, no pesticides needed yup 💯.
On the other hand other scientists (not me just a tech dude) say it is dangerous to manipulate the DNA of any animal, and the experimentation could bring disastrous consequences and experiments have not lasted long enough to observe such mutations and then to blast billions into the wild. My 2 sats. Will see tho willing to change😅🫂
I don't buy it. "Scientists" say all kinds of dumb stuff because there are millions of them and you can find at least one who is willing to say whatever you want with the right incentives. Humans have been genetically modifying organisms for millenia through breeding. The only thing different in this case is that we now have the technology to be a lot more surgical about the exact DNA sequence we alter. I think GMO fears are way overblown and not based in reality, people just been watching too much sci fi. We have a chance to defeat malaria, the number one biggest killer in the world and people want to slam on the brakes for IMO bad reasons.
I'm glad you're open to discuss it. This one issue is a pet peeve of mine, as you can tell. :)
