This has triggered an angry dispute between the people who support the advances of biotechnology and pe...

    The British Government describes genetic modification as the altering of the genetic material in that organism in a way that does not occur naturally or natural recombination or both. Therefore genetic modification produces organisms that would not occur in nature, unlike farming methods such as selective breeding which could occur naturally. To opposers of GM foods this constitutes a fundamental difference. Genetic modification is when DNA fragments are transferred into different cells through ...

    REG MITCHELL's defence of "Frankenfoods" - genetically engineered (GE) farm products - in his Oct. 9 article "So-called Frankenfoods have no more pathogens than are found in nature" is a repetition of the mantra we hear daily from the global corporations that dominate agricultural biotechnology. His principal point seems to be that since life abounds with risks of various kinds (cancer-inducing elements in the environment, the risk of being hit by a truck) we shouldn't be concerned about the pos...

If what large corporations such as Monsanto tell us are completely true, then what an accomplishment...

    For over two decades, genetically modified (GM) crops have been the subjects of numerous debates. Many arguments have been presented in support of and against the GM crops. In my opinion, the groups that support genetically engineering food have presented better arguments and have swayed me to their side.
