Ridiculous GMO proponents' proposition
The perspective of proponents of genetically modified organisms is a specialized narrow view of the world whereas the supposed big picture perspective of the anti-GMOs activists focuses narrowly on implications of a specialized science. However it is scientific method not just a particular science such as bioengineering that might require review. Or it is a question of just how much sway does funding have in the laboratory or in the peer journal editors office. Anti-GMO activists are not necessarily anti-science. Some are are merely proponents of the utilization of the precautionary principle, in other words responsible, ethical science. Proponents of bioengineering may indeed seem to have a broad consensus when there are far more scientists paid by corporations then there are scientists in the educational community fortunate enough to find funds to support their position. Thus the opposing consensus is compiled from many nations. Ultimately the issue may reduce down to whether indeed poisoning more people (through herbicides and pesticides) to feed more people (through supposed greater-yields) is a horrendous proposition supported only by logical fallacy.
