A couple of thoughts-
The "superweeds" your refer to are, I think, misnamed,
and to call them that is misleading.
I was not around for it, but I am told that in DDT days,
files became resistant to DDT. They were referred to then as, yes, "superfiles".
As a biology prof explained it though, the housefiy is about as close to perfect, as is, as any organism can be.
Thus, the metabolic compromises necessary for them
to be able to process DDT did enable them to survive
in that hostile environment, but, at some cost.
When DDT stopped being used, the files quickly reverted to non-immune.
I think the weeds you speak of would do the same.
Environmental damage associated with fish farms
includes such things as disrupting the sex ratio of central american crocodiles. In the event, they do a lot of harm, everywhere. The genetic modification of the fish raised may well be the least of the harm or potential harm.
One who reads about the history or radium and how
recklessly it was used might wonder how it applies to
GM,
In general, I agree with you that it is risky shyt, and
that the big corporations / fellow travelloer politicians
are no more to be trusted implicitly than, say, big tobacco with its pet politicans and researcher-minions.
Your pal subz kind of just likes to argue.
