Gary Hirshberg (JustLabelIt.org): ‘This relatively new science allows DNA (genetic material) from one species to be transferred into another species. The mixing of genes from different species that have never shared genes in the past is what makes GMOs … unique. Basically, scientists have figured out how to manipulate plants at the genetic level to do things like resist damage from pesticides. GMOs are made in a lab. They breed one kind of corn with, for example, a pesticide. When the corn grows, it produces a pesticide within itself.’
