Why would some people consider genetic engineering of cisgenic crops more natural than genetic engineering of transgenic crops

Its the stoopid for mee

Answer:

Public perception has proven to be essential for the approval of genetically modified crops, in particular in Europe. Several surveys and focus group interviews in the United States and Europe clearly show that both intragenic and cisgenic crops are acceptable to a greater number of people than transgenic crops. Some people believe that cisgenesis should not face as much regulatory oversight as genetic modification created through transgenesis as it is possible, if not practical, to transfer alleles among closely related species even by traditional crossing. So, there is a need to use genetic techniques to improve crops over recent decades. Through the use of transgenics, one can produce plants with desired traits and even increased yields. The transgenics would allow for more crops that last longer and withstand pests and diseases.

Hope this helped you!
