Well, you could have almost fooled me Eugene. In the above, you do sound like a vegetable.
Child, if you are specifically referring to the asexual reproduction in most banana plants, it is scientifically acknowledged as a type of self-cloning. It's not [b]not[b/] cloning because it's 'natural.'
The only danger in genetic manipulation is that genetically mutated plants/animals can endager exsiting species up to the point of totally replacing them in their ecosystem.
If you tweak the DNA of a cow to better fit your needs you're doing the same thing the farmer does when he makes his favourite bull ride his favourite cow. You only get results faster/more accurate.
If you eat genetically modified food it wont do you no harm, unless it's poisoned or highly radioactive. There's no way that something you eat can change your DNA.
So, yay, up with genetics. Don't believe the horror stories Greenpeace tells you, they should stick with saving the whales.

Every time you eat a banana, you are basically eating a clone. Get over it.

I'm sure there's a portion of a polypeptide chain in me that is identical to that of a corncob. That doesn't make me corn.

No, splicing fish DNA with corn doesn't make it a fish, but it doesn't make it corn either.
If it turns out to be both healthy and tasty, I'm all over it like a hobo on a hot dog, child

What about smokers...No doubt tobacco companies are working on Non-cancer causing cigarettes...or at least they'll be hoping so...

If they develop truly harmless cigarettes, then have at it.

maybe they should genetically engineer us so we don't have to eat so much...
