Paying to find non-GE wild corn?
"ddwyer" wrote in message ... In article , Moosh:] writes Thanks Gordon, good point. Not thet there's much more we can do about it than what we are doing. If you want to convert a sheep or a bacteria to produce a bioactive material such as a protein as a theraputic agent the way foreward is not to breed or mutate but GM a species. I.e. create a self replicating factory. GM food has the potential to generate unwanted materials that mutation and breeding cannot. Unwanted material in foodstuffs will be the rare hazard that we wont recognise until too late. Sadly whole populations will consume; not just the ill for whom the risk would ba acceptable. Due to testing in GM food stuffs we are much less likely to get unintended hazards in food stuffs than we are in in normally bred food stuffs. I can list several cases of food stuffs that case harm bred with conventional methods an you can't list a single one with GM methods. If you are going to use arguments use ones that you don't loose at the onset with proven facts. Gordon |
