GMO Dilemma

Mother Nature in the Ring with GMO's

Professor David Suzuki who has worked in genetics since 1961 smiles when he reflects on how the certainties which he held in the 1960s have all vanished. He writes "today when I tell students the hottest ideas we had in 1961 about chromosome structure and genetic regulations, they gasp and laugh in disbelief. In 2004, most of the best ideas of 1961 can be seen for what they are - wrong, irrelevant or unimportant...... So what is our hurry in biotechnology to patent ideas and rush products to market when the chances are overwhelming that their theoretical rationale will be wrong?"

A Precautionary Approach

The Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy has taken a strong precautionary stand on genetic engineering. In collaboration with leading scientists and other public service organizations, it has launched a nation-wide public awareness campaign to alert the public about the dangers of genetically engineered foods, and is calling for rigorous safety testing and mandatory labeling of such foods.
