Because it's ireiversable and the risks havea been calculated

See also livestock.

That's more un-natural selection
I'm talking fish DNA in grain etc.

actually all DNA
is more or less the same
so the fish DNA in plants is the same as cross-breading plants with other plants.
irrationality is the enemy of progress.

Maximum credible (proppelled by the media) and most likely are two different things
If GM is done wisely, it could be controlled. Although with any luck we can get around ever needing it.

it's generally down
to media induced hysteria. distortion and such.
a recent study into video violence showed that there is no causal link that watch violence makes you wanna commit violence but it's just violent people have more of an affinity to watch violent things. no real news coverage coz it goes against the national hegemony. damn you hegemony!!
Edit: my generally might not be all that general.. but more often that not in my opinion
