Dakota, George McGovern. In his 2001 book, The Third Freedom: Ending Hunger in Our Time - he strongly and passionately argued in defense of the using of genetic science to attack global malnutrition.

In so much of the world most people have little to eat other than rice which in itself does not provide anywhere near adequate nutrition. Genetically modified rice can totally change that. Sure there are legitimate concerns about corporate control and some measures and international treaties should be enacted to deal with that. But there are legitimate concerns about negative affects on economy from tackling the issues of manmade global warming - but in both cases that is no reason to throw away science and actually hurt rather than help the world's least fortunate people.
