Default Recent Evidence Confirms Risks of Horizontal Gene Transfer

ISIS submitted written questions to the upcoming ‘Open Meeting' of the
Advisory Committee for Novel Food Products (ACNFP) in which horizontal
gene transfer is to be discussed. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, Director of ISIS, who
has written substantially on the subject, and made frequent
representations to the government, asked to be given time to present her
case at the meeting, but her request was refused. She has accordingly
submitted a written version of the case she would have presented
(reproduced below), and asked for a "fulsome" response to it from the
ACNFP at the ‘Open Meeting'.

Please circulate this as widely as possible as part of our contribution
to the ‘National Debate' on GM.

I observe that this time her references are all to earlier expressions
of her opinions that she has published.
If Prof. Ho wants to be taken seriously, she'll need to take a serious
look for experimental studies that supports her opinions.
