Swimming Upstream

Aqua Bounty Technologies has developed a genetically engineered salmon that grows four times faster than normal. I, for one, hope it never comes to market. As Moldy Chum says, “What could possibly go wrong” with that? And Henrette at Only Real is Unreal expresses some very real concerns about genetically engineered salmon in general. Sometimes it seems like those who value Nature are swimming upstream against the scientists and corporations that are changing Nature. When is the world going to be concerned about the changes that are taking place? Hopefully before it’s too late.
