Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 and somehow spraying more pesticides is a good thing? don't they make horror movies about this sorta stuff? HUMAN GENES ARE WHAT'S FOR DINNER Japanese scientists are splicing human genes into rice that will ultimately be grown for human consumption. While some opponents say the concept borders on cannibalism, genetic engineers claim the new rice has environmental benefits. Researchers spliced a gene from a human liver into rice to help the plant " digest " pesticides, thereby allowing the crop to be sprayed with up to 13 different pesticides without damaging the rice. The developers of the new human-rice admit that if this gene were to escape into the wild, a new generation of " superweeds " could be inadvertently created. No testing of the product's impact on human health has yet been conducted. http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/humangene042505.cfm And Bugs Bunny is a friend of mine Eating him I'd feel like Frankenstein Eating flesh seems pretty foul to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
