Agricultural Transgenics: Science vs. Conspiracy, pt. 2- KazukiSeirei

My namesake on YouTube, "EvoGen," is short for "Evolution and Genetics." DNA and the role it plays in both the overall body and in the cell interest me, to the point that it's actually what I ultimately would like to end up focusing on with my career. Usually, I talk about aspects of evolution, and defend it from creatards who are either misinformed, or lie about it outright. However, "Evo" is only one part of my screenname. This is a sort of an attempt to get closer to the "Gen" part of it.

Genomics has the power to give us treatments, cures, and an understanding of the causes for various ailments that have plagued us as a species for centuries up until this point. Genomics, especially medical transgenics, is how I want to leave my mark on the world, I want it to be my way of leaving the world a better place than the way I found it.

Transgenics can also be applied to agriculture, as a means of bettering the lives of the consumer, but the producer as well. It's not only a means of bettering life in the first world nations, but especially the third world nations as well. It can cut back on all of the costs, the resources, the risks, and dangerous pollutants that often come from the farming process, and ultimately, it can save lives.

However, I have absolutely no respect for alarmist trash, or organizations, that would seek to take away the benefits of transgenics from those who need it most, and criticize it from an ivory tower, where food and farming are NOT a matter of life and death, and use lies and fallacies to impede the work of those trying to do and capable of doing the most good: the hard working scientists and students at the Universities and Biotechnology companies seeking to make a positive difference.

[kitrana]

awww so i cant become super cow man by eating a cow with transgenes?

[EvoGenVideos]

@kitrana No, unfortunately. But I hear Spiderman got his superpowers by eating transgenic spiders. : P

[kitrana]

@EvoGenVideos dammit guess that means i can save some money and not have that steak buffet i was planning :>

[EvoGenVideos]

@kitrana Well, there's a new chain of spider buffets opening up, I hear. ; )

[GargamelGold]

@EvoGenVideos You rock! You should participate in Coughlan616's pwnage Olympics! I really like how you debunk all these people who don't know what they are talking about.

[yerk3]

@EvoGenVideos See, that's why I only use organic and GMO-free spiders in all of my recipes.

[whispers83]

how you find time for this during finals i will never know, but always appreciate =-D

[RezenatorZen]

i think he took the phrase, you are what you eat, the complete wrong fucking way.

[InModiasWeTrust]

I don't know if you remember, but you corrected my misguided notions about GMO products over a year ago. I posted a video (the ONLY academic-style video I've ever posted without doing appropriate research), and you explained why and where I was wrong. Since then, I've managed to get EbscoHost credentials, the information from which I use to supplement my ongoing formal education. Kazuki should take a lesson from this, and you're free to inform him that he's welcome to use my EH login. LOL!

Instant gratification??? Someone seems not to work to feed themselves!
