Summarize Argument
A Scientist argues that the risk to humans from eating genetically engineered foodstuffs is minimal. This is because mostly only one gene of 750,000 is changed, and such a small change cannot pose significant issues.
Notable Assumptions
The Scientist assumes that just because the number of genetic changes is so small, the change to the organism will also be small and not pose a significant risk. It could be that a major change is sparked by altering a single gene.
