Extractions: Do you have a choice? Genetic engineering is the largest food experiment in the history of the world. We are all the guinea pigs. There are about 40 varieties of genetically engineered crop approved for marketing in the U.S. As a result, 60-70% of the foods on your grocery shelves contain genetically engineered (GE) components. Genetically engineered foods contain substances that have never been a part of the human food supply. They are not subjected to rigorous pre-market safety testing. And THEY ARE NOT LABELED. Is genetic engineering safe for you and your family? Safe for the environment? Safe for the future of mankind? No long-term studies have been done. No one can answer these questions.

What do people want? What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. DNA is the blueprint for the individuality of an organism. The organism relies upon the information stored in its DNA for the management of every biochemical process. The life, growth and unique features of the organism depend on its DNA. The segments of DNA which have been associated with specific features or functions of an organism are called genes Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes which change the structure of DNA in living organisms. Some of these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. Using such enzymes, scientists learned to cut specific genes from DNA and to build customized DNA using these genes. They also learned about vectors , strands of DNA such as viruses, which can infect a cell and insert themselves into its DNA.

Extractions: Ethics and Genetic Engineering A Response to the Department of the Environment's Consultation Paper - Genetically Modified Organisms and the Environment on behalf of VOICE (Voice Of Irish Concern for the Environment) Contents Introduction Introduction In January 1998 the Minister for the Environment promised that his department would shortly publish a consultation paper on genetic engineering. The document entitled Genetically Modified Organisms and the Environment finally appeared in August 1998. It purports to be an objective, even-handed document, explaining what genetic engineering is and outlining the national and European Union regulations governing the release of genetically engineered organisms or the sale of genetically engineered food. However, as many in the NGO (non-governmental organisation) community feared when the "consultation" process was announced the document is heavily weighted in favour of the biotech industry's point of view. They have defined the debate in their terms and therefore it is very difficult for those who come from a very different perspective to engage in a genuine debate at this point. The fears and anxieties which have arisen as a result of the biotechnology revolution were accurately captured in a joint statement by Minister Dempsey and his colleague, Joe Walsh T.D., present Minister for Agriculture while in opposition on April 26th, 1997. They argued that "it is premature to release genetically modified organisms into the environment or to market food which contain any genetically modified ingredient..." The reason for such a stand was very simple "Fianna Fail will not support what amounts to the largest nutritional experiment in human history with the consumer as guinea pig".

Paradise-engineering : The Hedonistic Imperative
Outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life.
http://www.hedweb.com/

Extractions: The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life. The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. It is predicted that the world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event. Two hundred years ago, powerful synthetic pain-killers and surgical anesthetics were unknown. The notion that physical pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed absurd. Today most of us in the technically advanced nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could ever be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice.

CAMPAIGN TO BAN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS Initiative zum Verbot genmanipulierter Nahrung Kampanj: Förbjud genetiskt manipulerade livsmedel Campaña para prohibir alimentos transgénicos In March 1996 the European Parliament voted against full and complete labeling of genetic modified food. On April 3, 1996 the European Commission formally approved the import, storage and processing of Monsato's genetically modified soybeans, Roundup Ready, in the European Union. The soybeans will not be required to be labeled as they enter Europe. Soybeans are used in 60% of all processed foods, such as bread, pasta, candies, ice cream, pies, biscuits, margarine, meat products and vegetarian meat substitutes. In fall1996 those products will be available unlabeled in the shops. These decisions were made without properly informing the public and are ignoring public wishes. Surveys consistently find that 97% of European consumers want clear labeling of all genetically engineered foods and 80% do not want genetically engineered foods at all. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!
