Can we talk about GM crops?

[Bumble]

I'm a bit wary of the idea of it for reasons I'm not sure I can clearly explain.

Me too, probably because years ago I read of unsavoury practices of selling seed grain to farmers who were used to collecting their own seed for re-use and who weren't warned that the crops were sterile. And there's the thing about taking stuff from one organism and putting it into another, where it has no right to be and the fear that it'll somehow mutate and become, as the worriers suggest, a monster unleashed.
