GMO organisms aren't cross-breeds. They aren't even similar.

If you could cross-breed a slug and an elephant, that would be one thing, but you can't. You can, however, splice a slug's genes into an elephant's - THAT is a GMO. It's not like grafting a Gravenstein apple branch on a red delicious tree or cross-pollinating.

It's an apples and oranges comparison, and frankly, I'm surprised you even posed that question.
