A passage is given below followed by several conclusions which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passages. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage, decide upon its truth or falsity, and choose the conclusion that best supports the passage. 

A Japanese government panel announced that it recommends regulating only genetically modified organisms that have had foreign genes permanently introduced into their genomes and not those whose endogenous genes have been edited. The only stipulation is that researchers and businesses will have to register their modifications to plants or animals with the government, with the exception of microbes cultured in contained environments. Reactions to the decision are mixed. While lauding the potential benefits of genome editing, an editorial opposes across-the-board permission. Unforeseen risks in gene editing cannot be ruled out. All genetically modified products must go through the same safety and labelling processes regardless of method.

The passage, if true, is best supported by which of the following conclusions?

1
A government panel in Japan says transgenic modification and genome editing are not the same. 
2
Creating categories within genetically modified products in terms of transgenic modification and genome editing advances science but defies laws.
3
Exempting from regulations the editing of endogenous genes is not desirable as this procedure might be risk-prone. 
4
The decision of the government panel is highly beneficial since, the risks are minimal and can be ignored.
5
Excepting microbes cultured in contained environments from the regulations of genome editing is premature.
