Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new 【38】______ , such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment. "We are flying blindly into a 【39】______ of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential 【40】______ ," said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.
