Don't Be Afraid of GMO:
-Scientist including FDA experts have said that fish are just as safe to eat as conventional salmon and that, raised in iscolated tanks, it poses little risk to wild population. -If the modified fish is approved it will be the first transgenic animal to offically enter the human food supply. -Researchers at the University of California, Davis, who developed goats whose modified milk could be used to treat and prevent childhood diarrhea.-They created birds that cannot spread the flu to their flock.
