LOL. Robert and I and some Punatics had this same discussion on GM wheat and corn a few days ago. In my mind, what you and Robert (and I could be wrong) are referring to is hybrids, where you take something like corn - and introduce other varieties of corn to get the best properties of each variety. But overall it is still corn. What I told Robert, was taking a tomato and introducing frog genes, is not the same as hybridizing corn, or tomatoes.
