Pete,
My point is that what happens with transgenics is not a singular, predictable outcome -- the law of unintended consequences is relevant.
As punareader states: "Modern genetics now knows that the old model of one gene makes one protein is no longer valid. Many scientific discoveries over the past decade point out that one gene may participate in production of multiple proteins. And, multiple proteins we now know may also be involved in many simple metabolic processes."
Metabolic processes that were not intended occur.
