So what? The current, non-genetically modified plants are not holy in any sense. They evolved and the during the evolution, their genes were altered countless times.
Every day, an unique, genetically modified plant is born, because a gamma ray from the outer space hit its DNA and altered it in a non-predictable fashion. 99.99999% and maybe more of these mutants are harmless and probably simply die.
The alteration of genes can happen on your very own garden and without any safety measures. Some of these natural mutants may even be dangerous and nobody cares.
Is this randomness and total lack of safety better than a scientist armed with knowledge and a place to conduct experiments?
