 GE medicine fed to a person who recovers and then ... adds GE organisms to
the sewerage system were there are billions of bacteria just waiting to
horizontally accept some new DNA construct with god knows what consequences.

 The cows [in the Waikato] at the centre of this dispute will be putting
their modified excrement into the Hamilton public sewerage system, and
feeding their modified blood to mosquitoes, ticks, fleas? etc. This is not
GE being kept in the laboratories; it is being subtly put among the
population; unless you can get all those being treated to be sterilised and
become monks, nuns or professional lab rats and guinea-pigs.

not as black and white as it seems.
