Driven by scientific curiosity and the whims of the marketplace, researchers are quickly breaking down the millennia-old barriers between species in their rush to create new food crop hybrids. In this program, Jeremy Rifkin, of the Foundation on Economic Trends; biochemist Arpad Pusztai, of the Rowett Research Institute; and other experts representing a broad spectrum of disciplines and interests voice their concerns on the issues arising from the short but alarming history of genetically modified organisms. In the final analysis, are GMOs safe to eat? Only time will tell—and by then it may be too late. (53 minutes)
