And the genetic engineering didn't happen in the past decade or even the past millennium. Nature spliced the genes before the rise of the Roman Empire. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2815 2) ADM Will Accept Biotechnology Improved Crops At Elevators Archer-Daniels-Midland Company realizes the ultimate decision in seed selection rests with our farmer suppliers. We also believe we can help maximize the value of these crops by some simple rules. At our processing facilities, ADM will accept all corn and soybean varieties approved by the appropriate officials in the U.S., Europe and other export markets. At our grain elevators, we will accept all biotech corn and soybean varieties meeting our standard specifications and help find markets for these crops. This includes current as well as new crop plantings. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2852 3) Let's Not Ignore Sound Science (by Senator Richard Lugar) Galileo, if he is looking down from the heavens as he once gazed up at them, must find the current public discussion of the emerging science of biotechnology uncomfortably familiar. Myth, rather than scientific fact, has come to predominate the debate. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2814 4) Combating Pathological Opposition To Gene Splicing (Chronicle of Higher Education) Efforts by antitechnology extremists to stop the field testing and use of gene-spliced plants and other organisms are a serious threat to research. The extremists claim that gene splicing -- a technique that introduces genetic material from one organism into another -- produces organisms that could harm the environment or people who consume materials from the organisms. Scientists disagree. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2841 AT MONSANTO.COM 1) Come visit our updated "links" section.
