GMOs have been linked detrimentally to a handful of species. I view this as preventable, but I'm no expert. I hope it is, but if it comes to weighing human starvation against bees (which it hasn't yet, certainly, but someday might) I'm not picking bees, sad as that makes the environmentalist in me. In any case, logging and deforestation kill thousands of species a year. This reminds me of Mitt Romney's well-popularized statement that he was going to cut funding to NPR to fix the deficit.
