ABSTRACT
As a general statement, this is something on which both proponents and opponents might agree. But their interpretations of this sentence would be very different. For proponents, GM will fight plant pests, lessen environmental damage, combat world hunger, improve nutrition, and create `tastier fruits and vegetables'.1 For opponents, it will damage wildlife, create new health risks, exploit poor farmers, undermine democracy, and disrupt Nature – without bringing any benefits.
