    GM = immoral?

    A previous commenter said:

    "For me, splicing genes from one species into another is a moral, not prudential, wrong."

    Really? You're saying it's intrinsically wrong to screw with a soybean's genes? Why would that be? Whose rights does it violate?

    I always thought the anti-GM argument was explicitly prudential. If it's really about it being somehow intrinsically, morally wrong, I have to reconsider the issue.
