Safety features for GMOs dont eliminate the risk but lets see some long term studies before you release new life forms please. Its harder to think about how this technology could be used in agriculture. Countless acres of genetically engineered crops would need to be fed this manmade ingredient, from a crop duster or by some other means. Scientists would also need to show that the synthetic protein component is safe to eat. I think its commendable theyre starting to design safety into genetically modified organisms, says Jennifer Kuzma, co-director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University. However, I dont really think its going to affect the public perception that much or the way we have to deal with the uncertainty anyway. You may reduce the chance of spread, but you cannot eliminate it completely. npr.org/blogs/health/2015/01/21/378820888/scientists-give-genetically-modified-organisms-a-safety-switch
