<Are you saying scientists genetically modifying crops is immoral? >

"Morality is hard to define IMHO... but using pretty well accepted versions.. If doing so (GMO) screws with the eco-system (our God given environment) or the bodies of those eating it SURE! Bugs and animals won't eat what YOU eat... kind of scary what direction that points in.

Further, of course things like willful pollution of our environment would be immoral just as a woman drinking and doing drugs (polluting her babies environment) would be immoral.

<If so does that apply to embryonic research?>

As with GMO, I would think it depends on what type and what it's all about.

Bottom line... there is MUCH MORE going on out there INFINITELY more important than a bunch of "atheist" (whatever THAT really means, probably NOT even immoral) scientists writing books on the subject.

Yep...

A little more thought should be put into changing the size of a cereal grain plant that sufficed for the last 10,000 years. Modified crops are dependent on huge amounts of chemical fertilizers that have polluted most North American water aquifers.
