Just because something is legal/illegal, doesn't make it right/wrong. I think we will all have to start getting comfortable with illegal things happening -- and even participating in them -- if we want to stop environmental catastrophe.

woah, who is to decide what is right and wrong if not the system we designed to formalise the rights and wrongs of the countries we are in?

I'm all for GMO as its the only way we realistically have a chance to feed all these damn children people keep having.

GMO isn't about feeding people, we already produce enough food for everyone, it's just not spread evenly. GMO is about profits first and foremost.

The answer lies in your first sentence: the system “we” designed ... when you feel the system currently in power does not represent your interests laws are options, not hard rules.

Who is "we"? I didn't get to take part in designing any system of right and wrong. And it's very obvious to anyone that looks closely that the only people who have any significant influence over that system are coming from a small powerful and wealthy minority.
