Think you're not eating genetically engineered food? Think again. Thousands of products on supermarket shelves are made with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).Companies that have fouled the planet with toxic chemicals are now manufacturing genetically modified food, which poses irreversible threats of biological pollution and a host of other risks. Get answers to frequently asked questions about GMOs U.S. Wheat Farmers Launch Legal Petition to Stop Introduction of GE Wheat U.S. wheat farmers - concerned that deregulation of Monsanto's genetically engineered Roundup Ready Wheat could bring economic, environmental and social damages - have filed a legal petition calling for immediate action by Anne Veneman, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary, and the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Greenpeace's True Food Network Demands an End to GE Food in Supermarkets Since the True Food Network's victory in November 2001 in which Trader Joe's agreed to use non-GMO ingredients in its store brand products, it has been focusing its Supermarket Campaign on Shaw's/Star Markets and Safeway. Read about the the Network's latest action against Shaw's. CSAs: An Alternative To GE Produce One way to avoid gentically engineered food is to buy organic. But buying Certified Organic produce and products at your local supermarket can be both expensive and limiting, especially when they don't carry what you want or need. Fortunately, options are available and they're closer to you than you think!

Issue 8.04 - Apr 2000 Why the future doesn't need us. Our most powerful 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species. By Bill Joy From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century. I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things. Ray and I were both speakers at George Gilder's Telecosm conference, and I encountered him by chance in the bar of the hotel after both our sessions were over. I was sitting with John Searle, a Berkeley philosopher who studies consciousness. While we were talking, Ray approached and a conversation began, the subject of which haunts me to this day. I had missed Ray's talk and the subsequent panel that Ray and John had been on, and they now picked right up where they'd left off, with Ray saying that the rate of improvement of technology was going to accelerate and that we were going to become robots or fuse with robots or something like that, and John countering that this couldn't happen, because the robots couldn't be conscious. While I had heard such talk before, I had always felt sentient robots were in the realm of science fiction. But now, from someone I respected, I was hearing a strong argument that they were a near-term possibility. I was taken aback, especially given Ray's proven ability to imagine and create the future. I already knew that new technologies like genetic engineering and nanotechnology were giving us the power to remake the world, but a realistic and imminent scenario for intelligent robots surprised me.

Ethics And Genetic Engineering A Response to the Department of the Environment's Consultation Paper Genetically Modified Organisms Category Society Philosophy Bioethics genetic engineering......Ethics and genetic engineering. This paper will attempt to address someof the ethical issues involved in genetic engineering. Part I. http://www.voice.buz.org/genetic_engineering/ethicsandge.html

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".

54. Welcome To Cloning Around! Cloning Around (c) 1987-2002 David Scott MacLachlan - Cartoons about clones, creatures, critters and mutations who have escaped from a genetic engineering research laboratory, and the slightly mad scientist who created them. By Dave MacLachlan. http://www.CloningAround.com

Cartoons about clones, creatures, monsters and mutations who have escaped from a genetic engineering research laboratory and the Slightly Miffed Scientists who created them. Cloning Around " started life in the late 1980's as your typical "Genetic mutations escape from a college biochemistry laboratory" campus newspaper cartoon strip. It originally followed the standard three or four panel format, but over the years it has since mutated into a single panel cartoon for the most part. Every now and then it regresses to a multiple panel version. The characters aren't based on any particular person, they're just products of an especially fevered imagination. What would start out as random doodles would eventually take on a life of their own, becoming Clyde, Prof. Arnbuckle, The Sock Monster, et al. As you will notice, bad puns run rampant throughout the strip. Guilty as charged - but, I remain unre pun tant ;) If you find that there's a particular cartoon that you truly like, and want a hardcopy version of it for framing, or for using as the centerpiece for a dartboard, please contact me at Dave@CloningAround.com

Bibliography Abstract This paper sets out to defend human genetic engineering with a new bioethical approach, post-humanism, combined with a radical democratic political framework. Arguments for the restriction of human genetic engineering, and specifically germ-line enhancement, are reviewed. Arguments are divided into those which are fundamental matters of faith, or "bio-Luddite" arguments, and those which can be addressed through public policy, or "gene-angst" arguments. The four bio-Luddite concerns addressed are: Medicine Makes People Sick; There are Sacred Limits of the Natural Order; Technologies Always Serve Ruling Interests; The Genome is Too Complicated to Engineer. I argue that these are matters of faith that one either accepts or rejects, and that I reject.

PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotechnology Information Series (Bio-1) North Central Regional Extension Publication Iowa State University - University Extension Biotechnology Defined Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using living organisms or their products for commercial purposes." As such, biotechnology has been practiced by human society since the beginning of recorded history in such activities as baking bread, brewing alcoholic beverages, or breeding food crops or domestic animals. A narrower and more specific definition of biotechnology is "the commercial application of living organisms or their products, which involves the deliberate manipulation of their DNA molecules" (see glossary for definitions of bold-print words). This definition implies a set of laboratory techniques developed within the last 20 years that have been responsible for the tremendous scientific and commercial interest in biotechnology, the founding of many new companies, and the redirection of research efforts and financial resources among established companies and universities. These laboratory techniques provide scientists with a spectacular vision of the design and function of living organisms, and provide technologists in many fields with the tools to implement exciting commercial applications. Principles of Biology All living organisms are composed of cells that contain a substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the chromosomes. (See Fig.1.) The structure of DNA molecules contains information that is used by cells as a "recipe" for the organism; that is, the characteristics of any living thing essentially are determined by the information in DNA. The "words" for the DNA recipe, called genes, are derived from a 4-letter alphabet (A, C, G, T) and usually contain between 1,000 and 100,000 letters. The entire recipe, called the genome, may contain between 4 million (simple bacteria) and 3 billion (human) letters or more.
