Do not confuse natural plant breeding with splicing genes from dissimilar organisms (such as fish) into the plant’s DNA (hence the moniker Genetically Modified Organism).
I am very grateful for Mr. Borlaug’s work in natural plant husbandry. He should be applauded and honored.
What he did is not hacking together frankenplants like Monsanto and others are doing.
