NABC Report 10: Agricultural Biotechnology and Environmental Quality: Gene Escape and Pest Resistance
Author
Ho, Mae-Wan
Abstract

Genetically engineering agriculture is unnecessary and unethical. It is based on unsound science, and the foods produced are unwholesome. It is unsustainable because the technology is hit or miss. Most of all I believe it is inherently unsafe. In the face of the wealth of existing scientific evidence and the precautionary principle, the governments should to impose a five-year moratorium on genetic engineering.
