| 1136922 | 2010-09-14 02:26:00 | I'm not sure about GE products yet as I have seen too much damage done when humans thought things would be ok. eg the introduction of rabbits to this country and gorse. I wish people would get the difference between GM and GE. GE is where genes have been genetically engineered by science whereas I am a genetic modification of my parents, or you might cross a couple of breeds of tomato to get the results you want. |

They're the same thing. I don't know if they have any official stance, but modification and engineering are just two words describing the same thing in this context. What you're referring to is selective breeding. You're not the GM product of your parents, yes your parents' genes were....interchanged, during crossover events in meiosis, but their genes remain intact (well, halved in gametes), they're only shuffled if you will, and you get half/half from each parent. |

You say they are the same thing I say they are not so we will leave it at that. |
