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.

If you think about it, it's not the fact that things are gene-altered by humans, but that people are scared by science. Humans have been modifying the genes of plants and animals for thousands of years via selective breeding, cross-breeding, etc.

@ChipmunkErnie alot of GMO tomatoes have flounder DNA in them to resist cold, tell me how you would selectively breed a fish with a plant

@Tetsuya They're getting better at it. It all changing the genome, just now it's much more advanced. It's not inherently bad, it's how and what is done.
