Depends on who the company doing both is... if it happens to be the same 
company and they are guilty of tampering, financial lobbying, then most 
certainly both must be equally tainted and treated with deep suspicion.

Then either you obviously don't know how to use Google or have no 
interest in researching the other side of the story.  ( I think in the 
Newspaper industry it's called "selling newspaper advertising space". 
Outside of that industry it's called delusional self editing.)

Cherry picking my A....! That appears to be your standard number one 
refrain when at a loss for real facts - Gee Tom you're cherry picking 
again... introducing doubt in the mind of readers.
Well sir, unfortunately Link for the most part is constituted of 
individuals with IQ's over 105 and your techniques developed over many 
centuries of journalistic evolution, probably don't have the same 
negative connotation association as with the readability index of say 12 
year olds, (the average age of people who still believe what journalists 
write).

Unfortunately Mr. O'Connor, I think you fail to understand exactly what 
a GMO actually is.

Rather than quote reams of academic references (most of which prove 
direct connection between GMO's and Cancer - [Chapela, Snow, Traavik, 
Rosi-Marshal, Carman, Carrasco, Ermakova and I have already mentioned 
Pusztai]), I'll put my reasons for lumping GMO's and HG's into the same 
basket into simple English so that even a twelve year old can understand 
the implications.

A GMO food organism pretending to be human consumable food is akin to a 
Facsimile pretending to be an email and everyone telling you - but it is 
just as good as an email... it just needs a proprietary delivery and 
receiving system.
Therein lies the problem. The receiving system.

Vis:
GMO's are constructed by artificially altering the DNA of the intended 
GMO. (Genetically Modified Orgasnism).

Up until the mid nineties, when people ate (e.g.) carrots, their 
biological computers recognised the incoming DNA chain and filed the 
proteins appropriately. After all , Humanity has been eating carrots for 
around 500,000 years therefore our DNA and that of Carrots are fairly 
well acquainted and the handling protocols well established.

Today however, almost 8% of the carrot has a new instruction set that in 
no way resembles anything that our biological computers are familiar 
with - therefore to handle the new engineering protocols our bodies are 
altering to suit the new programming.

I don't believe I gave Monsanto permission to reprogram my genetic code.

Do Growth Hormones change our bodies - yes.
Do GMO's alter our biological programming by shunting proteins into 
(possibly) cancer receptive cells ? Yes. ALL THE RATS DIED!!!

Are GMO's and GH's equally as dangerous as each other ?
Obviously. Why ?
Because they both encourage uncoordinated, and un-researched cellular 
growth that empirically appears to favour those cells with (dormant ?) 
mutating cancers.

In closing, as to why more scientists are not talking about this publicly;

Quote:/
New Zealand Parliament member Sue Kedgley told a Royal Commission in 
2001: "Personally I have been contacted by telephone and e-mail by a 
number of scientists who have serious concerns about aspects of the 
research that is taking place ... and the increasingly close ties that 
are developing between science and commerce, but who are convinced that 
if they express these fears publicly ... or even if they asked the 
awkward and difficult questions, they will be eased out of their 
institution."

And if you keep telling me I'm a wrong on the subject, my emails will 
escalate with the names of the Governments and countries that have 
banned GMO GH products.
