You admit your ignorance when you seemingly can’t tell the difference between hybridization and gene splicing. Hybrids are created everyday in nature. Gene spliced mutants are not. Knee-jerk nay-saying is not a cogent argument. Neither is ignorance.

There really isn't any difference. One just gets you there faster than the other.

Hybrids are created everyday in nature.

Natural grafting occurs, that is true. However, there are all kinds of problems that can come from it. Grafting of plants by humans, on the other hand, is responsible for most of the varieties of food you enjoy today. Furthermore, it was human inspired genetic modification that was responsible for the Green Revolution that saved more than a billion people from starvation. The hybrid plants that saved so many people, mostly children, from the horror of death by starvation would have never been possible from people like you. And you call others ignorant....?
