Are we too smart for our own good sometimes , or just too impatient ?

PORTLAND, Ore. - Grass that was genetically engineered for golf courses is growing in the wild, posing one of the first threats of agricultural biotechnology escaping from the farm in the United States, a new study says.Creeping bentgrass was engineered to resist the popular herbicide Roundup to allow more efficient weed control on golf courses. But the modified grass could spread that resistance to the wild, becoming a nuisance itself, scientists say.

Golf courses(on paper) are one of the biggest wastes of prime land known to man , yet a grass variety "frankengineered" for better turf is now in the wild accidentally in the largest single grass seed growing region in the US . What else have the geniuses behiond bioengineering "oopsed" into the wild that we don't even know about ? Will more regulatory oversight be necessary ? What if they've already "oopsed" us on the road to"frankenweeds" that could be potentially catastrophic ?





Your thoughts ?

Genetically modified grass? Sweet.

And I thought my job was boring.
