Because genetically modified things can create unknown dangers that may not be immediately apparent. Through genetic modification, genes are introduced into an organism that will provide it with a desired trait. However, triggering that gene to come on may also trigger other genes to turn on that can't be anticipated or immediately identified and lead to undesirable consequences. Additionally, genes can cross over into other unintended species. For instance, the gene that makes corn produce its own toxins to fight off disease and infestations could potentially cross over to the bacteria in your gut, hence those toxins will be produced in your body indefinitely. Cross pollination can result in genetically modified plants crossing their genes over to non-genetically modified plants resulting in unintended modified crops that farmers may not even be aware of and could be sold as non-genetically modified to the unsuspecting consumer.

Imposing strict regulations on research funding and conducting field trials could limit scientific research in genetic modification of food.
Most corn has been genetically modified, if only by centuries of plant selection. Of more concern is whether it has been subject to trans genetic engineering. For example does it contain genes of the three toed newt?? Or whatever. DON'T let them confuse you between genetic modification and trans genetic engineering.
Genetic Engineering or Genetic Modification. The industry that does this, is often called Bioengineering. One of the most famous companies in Bioengineering is Monsanto; a controversial company that creates genetically modified seeds.
Implementing strict regulations and bans on research would most likely limit scientific research on genetic modification of humans. Additionally, ethical concerns, public backlash, and funding limitations could also hinder research in this field.

Changes in the mice are most likely due to genetic modification through gene editing techniques like CRISPR-Cas9. This process involves altering the genetic material in the mice to produce specific traits or characteristics.
Some lines of work like genetic modification are very controversial causing the possibility of hacking. Cyber security is probably a very important priority.
