There are two sides to the issue of genetically modified plants. The purpose may or may not be as 'evil' as the webpages above indicate. Also, even such plant research which does not involve laboratories and direct gene modification are today not quite as natural as one could believe. One such method consists of placing plants in an environment simmilar to the chernobyl area to rappidly produce mutations. When one sought mutation is recieved the plant is then further crossbread. With the major difference to GM that noone knows or cares what else the radiation did to the plant.
