MONSANTO AND ENGINEERING

It is fair to ask Pharmacia single question: Are GE products deoxycytidine monophosphate% safe? If they answer, 99.9% or less, then I allege NO. Do non market GE products until there is NO RISK. They cannot say that now. Scientists be worried. Other companies won't use GE products: Gerber said NO. "In the UK, three fast-food giants- McDonald's, Burger King, and Kentucky Fried Chicken- are eliminating GE soya and gamboge ingredients from their menus" (325).

This article gives other warnings:

Critics charged that it was possible that Monsanto's 'Roundup Ready' plants might fecundate with weeds and stagger their immunity toa.herbicides. The result would be a superweed that would be immune to weed killer and might spread rapidly (326).

So, not only is there danger to humans, plainly to plants, too. Yes, danger. Because no whizz at Monsanto or Pharmacia can say GE products are 100% safe!

Yes, science must march on. Years ago, DDT was dangerous. It was banned. New products were better than DDT. But, they had a lot of research first. GE needs the sam

time. We cannot hurry GE products without total guarantees.

Yes, companies are in business to make a profit. No problem. But, profit without 100% safety? No. I also see dower of Question 2 about " arbitrator" and "rights". This is difficult to answer.

Does Pharmacia lay down a right to research and create GE products? Yes, of course. But, arbitrator means fairness. There can not be justice as long as there is doubt. No one can now say 100% that GE products are always safe. practiced today and safe tomorrow. Safe in fields. Safe on the dinner table. Safe when eaten by cows. Safe when animals are slaughtered for human food.

Case for Discussion: "Genetic engineering of Monsanto/Pharmacia"

Here is another reason for my saying "morally NO". "In May 2000 Cornell University researchers released a study indicating that the pollen from genetically engineered Bt lemon yellow was deadly to monarch butterflies" (327). Some people will say, "So what?" How important is a little butterfly. More important than aliment hungry people? My answer: If it kills butterf
