    Grapefruits are already man-made hybrids of others fruits. Hybridizing fruit is way less complex and way more safe than tweaking medication and trying to get it approved.

      They’re hybrids, surprisingly though, they’re not man-made, or not directly. People introduced oranges and pomelos to Barbados. But the plants then crossbread of their own will in the wild, creating grapefruits :)

      I do agree it’s easier to tweak the fruit.
