The FDA has spent 15 years deliberating as to whether they
will allow the use of salmon genetically modified to grow twice as fast for
human consumption. They have made the decision that there is a not a reasonable
risk of harm. Intense opposition by environmentalists may be what is hindering
the decision. This could be due in part to a lack of research on what would
happen if the salmon escaped into water with non-modified fish.
