Genetically Modified Plants and Animals

The contemporary use of genetically modified often refers to transgenically modified plants and animals. Trans ganic modification of food can be done to enhance or add novel characteristics, potentially to our benefit. But the term g m is still in the shadow of bad press from the 19 nineties. Why a proportion of the public sided against g m may have come from their initial use. There was a initial push back around the kinds of traits that were being developed and who they were seen to benefit.
