There followed a host of field trials to also develop...

Strict regulations including risk assessment, labeling, traceability and marketing have been established due to the controversial safety aspects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). One of the main polemic issues associated with GMOs safety are the possible unintended effects, defined as effects that go beyond the primary expected effects of the genetic modification. In order to effectivel...

The public discourse on the acceptability of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is not only controversial, but also infused with highly emotional and moralizing rhetoric.

In many cases, the moral psychology attributes of the general...
