49. I agree about rational choice vs. intrinsic opposition.

I agree about rational choice vs. intrinsic opposition. My sister has Type 1 Diabetes. Once upon a time, she injected insulin extracted from cows or pigs, but these days all her insulin is made by GMO bacteria in vats in labs. This is great by me, because those bacteria are confined to labs (or factories I guess). That's a whole lot different than planting a wind-pollinated crop in a field, and then spraying it with herbicides that can travel into soil, the water table, etc., while the pollen can travel for miles.

The GMO bacteria-grown insulin works better than the cow or pig stuff. Whereas, there is no evidence that GMO crops work better than a well-managed organic food production system. GMO-promoters love to talk about increased production or better drought resistance, but it's longer rotations and more cover crops that make for higher yields, and increased soil organic matter that allow crops to become better resistant to droughts.
