As long as today’s activists and regulators remain convinced that GMOs represent a distinct and dangerous category of research and products, genetic engineering will fall short of its potential. That is bad news for the millions of poor people for whom genetic engineering in agriculture, medicine, and environmental science could offer a healthier, more secure future.
只要当今的激进分子和监管者继续认定GMO是一种不同的、危险的研究和产品类别，基因工程就无法充分实现其潜力。这对数百万穷人来说实在是坏消息，农业、医学和环境科学方面的基因工程能给他们带来更健康、更安全的未来。
