You cannot guarantee what might happen down the road. Both human and animal cells have been used in GMO work but so far the plants are not for human consumption. Embryo experimentation has been permitted as long as the embryo does not live beyond 14 days (spare embryos).Eddie, no.
Fetal genes are not spliced into food. Fetal genes are not in the vaccines either though some aborted fetal cells were used to test the vaccine, if I'm remembering right. I'm against abortion but I am not against using tissue from dead humans to advance science.
As for vaccines no fetal tissue but fetal cell lines, this from: Abortion opponents protest COVID-19 vaccines’ use of fetal cells
At least five of the candidate COVID-19 vaccines use one of two human fetal cell lines: HEK-293, a kidney cell line widely used in research and industry that comes from a fetus aborted in about 1972; and PER.C6, a proprietary cell line owned by Janssen, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, developed from retinal cells from an 18-week-old fetus aborted in 1985. Both cell lines were developed in the lab of molecular biologist Alex van der Eb at Leiden University.
