Isn't there a difference though?

If I want to have a Scandinavian child, I just reproduce with someone from Sweden.

If I want my child to be immune to the sun and skin cancer, I just add a gene from the leaf of a tree, inject it into his DNA and see what happens?

I support GMOs but nuance is important.

"nuance is important"

Says someone comparing plants with human children to make a point. (And no, not much of a difference, other than with modern technique we have more control over the results)

Perhaps the example was not the best, but surely you see the difference between splicing DNA from different species, and selecting certain specimen based on desired traits?

I see the difference in the "means" (and one is way faster\efficient), but not in the "ends".
