My question was just where and how you draw the line. My dad had the heart valve of a pig surgically implanted. Kept him alive. How much of medical research is "GMO"? That bad too?


GMO is not naturally occurring mutations (natural insertion or deletions of DNA material). Your dads heart valve doesn't make your dad a GMO, unless they spliced pig DNA with your fathers DNA and he generated a heart valve on his "own". Your dad and my grandpa were merely retrofitted with non OEM parts
