    The modern, laboratory sense is just a more efficient way of doing exactly what farmers were doing 5,000 years ago. Like all technology, genetic modification isn't inherently good or evil, it's how the people who control the technology use it that matters. Monsanto et al are bad because they're controlled by capital.
