Does GNLD use any genetically modified components?
A. GMO’s, or genetically modified organisms caught our attention way back in the 1980’s. As we delved into the science and technology that was developing behind the scenes we quickly came to the conclusion that genetic manipulation of life’s blueprint DNA was a very risky enterprise. It was not without it’s promise, but it was truly a doubled edged sword with the potential for both dramatic benefit and catastrophic risk. On the one hand it offers the opportunity to “feed the starving masses” by creating new forms of certain crop plants that would grow where they previously wouldn’t, or produce hugely greater yields, or provide previously missing nutrients deficient in certain populations. On the other hand it held the potential to create virulent “monster” plants or animals that would displace their “weaker” natural cousins, reek havoc on the local flora and fauna where they are planted or farmed and ultimately force the natural form into extinction.
