What is the argument AGAINST GMOs?

My only criticism is that it allows corporations to copyright crop strains and penalize farmers for growing from their own crop without paying.
It terms of production, nutrition and getting resources to struggling populations, GMOs are an absolute win.

Reducing bio diversity is dangerous. If you rely on one type of cow, potato or lettuce that's immune to all known diseases, and a new one pops up that does kill that type, you won't have any of that category left.

True. But is that what is being done?
@Pikachu it's already happening with traditional crossbreeding in combination with capitalism. If GMO makes a few strains even more superior than all others, their use will make up an even bigger percentage of all production.

I agree monocultures are dangerous. I'm just not sure if that's actually happening with GMOs
