Article: Say no to genetic engineering While scientific progress on molecular biology has a great potential to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools, it should not be used as justification to turn the environment into a giant genetic experiment by commercial interests. The biodiversity and environmental integrity of the world's food supply is too important to our survival to be put at risk. Genetic engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occur naturally.

These genetically modified organisms (GMO) can spread through nature and interbreed with natural organisms, thereby contaminating non 'GE' environments and future generations in an unforeseeable and uncontrollable way. Their release is 'genetic pollution' and is a major threat because GMOs cannot be recalled once released into the environment. Because of commercial interests, the public is being denied the right to know about GE ingredients in the food chain, and therefore losing the right to avoid them despite the presence of labelling laws in certain countries. Biological diversity must be protected and respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival. Governments are attempting to address the threat of GE with international regulations such as the Biosafety Protocol. We believe: GMOs should not be released into the environment as there is not adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the environment and human health. We advocate immediate interim measures such as labelling of GE ingredients, and the segregation of genetically engineered crops and seeds from conventional ones. We also oppose all patents on plants, animals and humans, as well as patents on their genes. Life is not an industrial commodity. When we force life forms and our world's food supply to conform to human economic models rather than their natural ones, we do so at our own peril.

website: [|http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/genetic-engineering] __Summary:__ In a few hundred words, this article is taking a poiint of view on the debate of genetical engneering and its ethics. This particular person feels as though genetical engeneering is not the best idea. He feels that by completing further research in genetical eneneering that it will make the world some sort of genetical experiment. That is one of his many reasons as to why he opposes genetical engeneering research. He also feels that the purposes for the research are not noble ones. Commercial purposes are not respectable enough reasons to complete such ethically challenging methods as such. The article writer feels as though there are other and less ethically questionable methods to achieve the same goals. the author also feel that biodiversity and invironmental integrity are important to be put at risk by this type of engineering.  Reaction: This person is full of phewey! Does he not see that with genetical engineering all the possibilities. Is he incapable of foreseeing all the countless numbers of people we can help by delving further into genetical engineering. With it we can grow an entire race of people with super powers or above natural capabilites. Certain diseases will be cured or atleast more discovered. Cancer itself might be able to be managed with more ease if we reasearch genetical engineering more. The outcomes of genetical engineering greatly out wiegh the minute risks. As for the mambo jambo that this author keeps bringing up he needs to get over it.
