Document Summary

Foreign dna from another species put into another species, different from breeding dogs or plants. National academy of science committee formed: diverse, sensitive to bias, very conservative and unanimous report, all volunteer, chaired by fred gould. First release of gmo: not suffer from frost damage. Genetic change from crop domestication took 10,000 years. Since the 1950s, we have been eradiating to create mutations. We start to know more about what we do. These concerns apply to food and agriculture in general. These concerns are generally true, create policies to principles: (cid:28643)(cid:28677)(cid:28674)(cid:28672)(cid:28674)(cid:28679)(cid:28664) (cid:28666)(cid:28664)(cid:28673)(cid:28664)(cid:28677)(cid:28660)(cid:28671) (cid:28682)(cid:28664)(cid:28671)(cid:28665)(cid:28660)(cid:28677)(cid:28664), (cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28668)(cid:28673)(cid:28679)(cid:28660)(cid:28668)(cid:28673) (cid:28675)(cid:28664)(cid:28674)(cid:28675)(cid:28671)(cid:28664)"(cid:28678) (cid:28677)(cid:28668)(cid:28666)(cid:28667)(cid:28679)(cid:28678) . One published paper that shows health risk---tumors of rats. Make a distinction between eating gmo for lifetime and for a short time. But not always gm crops improves food or is good for environment. Some gm crops have the potential mitigate environmental impact of agriculture: less pesticide, less dust, more biodegradable herbicides.
