Maybe you haven't thought this through. So, you think it would be a good idea to amend the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech, one of America’s most fundamental rights.

Hybridization of species is far different from splicing genes from a non-plant species which bio-tech companies do. We really have no idea what the long term effects of that is.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Oh great! GMO apples approved for growing in the US
They modified the plant to stop producing an enzyme that makes the apple to turn brown. Just think, if we could do that to people, we could stop discrimination based on skin colour. I would not worry though, humans are exceptionally creative in finding things for disliking other people. There are many ways to produce 'new' organisms. With genetic engineering one can mimic things like cross breeding, or (and this is where the real potential for danger comes in) mimic natural mutation, or inserting genes from other species, or creating entirely synthetic genes. I think a glow in the dark 'spiritual' gene that activates when a person believes a spiritual philosophy with too great a percentage of gullibility would help identify people one might want to avoid, as the conversation with such would tend to be repetitive without progress. Not of much use here though. From: "Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]" To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 5:37 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Oh great!
