That "specific isolated gene" may have other functions than that which is known. What the scientists think they know and what they REALLY know could well be two different things. I only advocated testing and observing to be SURE that these things are OK. After all, if they take DNA from a goat, that is identifiable as being from a goat, and then splice it into a tomato, it _may_ make a better tomato. BUT.....it could also make the tomato toxic as a side effect. Not quite the same deal as a plate with carrots and celery on it. As an experiment, go and get a Rubik's Cube.

DDT? Agent Orange? There are still unanswered questions.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
