Here, from FDA on them and regulation if you're seriously worried: http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/testimony/ucm115032.htm

You know guys, the term GMO, or in the US genetically engineered foods, is pretty dang broad. Marro here is talkin about all the negative uses of it, and I'm talkin about it's positive points. I'd say you're takin a little far by putting it into a religious context, because I'll only do that in extreme cases, but if that's what makes sense to you, so be it.

Anyway, what I'm tryin to say is not to take this as a bad and terrible thing and it's gonna kill us all like Al Gore did with climate change (Don't go there btw. Introducing that subject to politics did anything but make war).--- (And I just lost my train of thought, and I'm stuck here at the station).--- The technology that goes into this engineering (gene splicing) is already used to make human hormones like insulin through bacteria to help diabetes patients. You have to look at the positive side. And dang it, be optimistic. Pessimists never did anything except die.
