The Nobel people in 1970 when they were giving Norman Borlaug a prize, they siad it was for saving a billion lives. Funny how these people are happy to have ANY food and yet someone still has the nerve to bitch about their own irrational discomfort. Goddamned heartless whiners.

Biotechnology saves lives, reduces pollution, reduces pesticides in our water, reduces starvation, improves the standard of living in third world countries, offers alternatives to fossil fuel energy production, and still these nut cases protest the entire industry. How can they morally ignore the benefits it can provide mankind?

Biotechonolgy can certainly be beneficial. However this brand new, young technology has to be used with care, knowledge and responsibility. Strict regulation and control is essential. Unfortunately, today that's not the case. Powerful biotech companies like Monsanto don't give a shit about the impact their GM crops have on the ecosystem and the very nature we all depend on. Morover, companies like Monsanto are far to powerful, and are dominating and terrorizing the food market.

'truthadvocate'..."How can they morally ignore the benefits it can provide mankind?"...

You need to go talk to some farmers, and seed savers who know the difference between GMO crap, and real food...In fact the opposite is true....Farmers have committed suicide, more pesticides are used on GMO crops, and more and more 3rd world people are losing their land and gettin' crammed into miserable slums in the city, when they use to at least be able to grow some of their own food...

GM Crops in Canada have contaminated non gm seeds GM genes have jumped from GM pollen to non GM crops. Gene jumping is inherent to the GM Techno. + contaminated the soil Gm Crops contain Viral Promoter, who leads to cancer. CaMV Promoter. Do start reading your Goyems.

OR the whole world dies....

There's a widespread fantasy in profligate and wasteful western societies that simpler kinds of tribal communities really were more in touch with nature, less violent and more pleasant. I believe most GM and fission opponents are people who share this fantasy.

Studies of a wide variety of contemporary hunter-gatherer type societies show that a male has a ~30-60% chance of dying at the hands of another male from a different tribe. Their lives are short, disease-ridden and brutish.
