The practice of genetically modifying seeds and foods has generated national and international controversy relating to environmental, economic, health, and ethical concerns.

They have not being doing that - at least, not legally nor publicly.
In the sense that selective breeding can be considered genetic modification, humans have been genetically modifying animals since prehistoric times.
When someone is genetically identical to someone else they are called twins, triplets etc.
Somatic cells are body cells. Genetically modifying them might have an influence of the subject on which the procedure was carried out but will not have any direct influence on future generations. Genetic alternation of germ cells however, will have an effect on future generations.
No movement to try to prevent the development of genetically modified food technology is known. There are; however, people who choose not to eat food that is known to be genetically modified, due to questions about the health and environmental effects of genetically modifying plants used for food.
Ethical.
In theory we might become god-like, in practice (due to ignorance of many factors) it will probably end in excess deaths.
Genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells is against the law because it can give way to unwanted mutations and diseases.
