[Treehugger.com] Treehugger: Arguments Against GMOs (and Industrial Agriculture): And seemingly this produces an “ultra slippery, long lasting, non-sticky” lubricant that will “alleviate dryness, enhance sensitivity and increase sexual enjoyment.” Will wonders never cease””something green for the inbetween. (*According to a little fact file on the Sylk site, the US EPA reckon parabens have “proven endocrine-disrupting and mutagenic effects”, which might be the reason behind the Australian distributor of Sylk donating a percentage of their profits to the Cancer Council.) ::Sylk
[Dirty Greek Dot Org] The GMO Argument Continued: "American maize which is multi colored and very uneven in the rows and is itself a cultivated crop. Our current corn, whether white or yellow, together with grits and cornmeal is hybrid, thus genetically altered from what grows in the wild.
[Gmoafrica.org] GMO Africa Blog: Zambia has formulated laws to regulate transshipment of genetically modified food and set up a laboratory to test for the presence of GMOs in all foreign-procured food, all in the name of "protecting its citizenry from the dangers of GMOs?" Unfortunately, these so-called austere measures have not made Zambia self-sufficient in food. Just last week, WFP, announced that 1.7 million Zambians are suffering from acute food shortage and need urgent help.

They plan to discuss such topics as the definition of human life and whether people have the right (or duty, if circumstances warrant) to modify the genes of their offspring.
[Adam.rosi-kessel.org] Adam Rosi-Kessel's Fair and Balanced Weblog: While it’s quite unlikely that genetically modified foods are going to turn any of us who eat them into mutants (I can say this as someone who spent several years splicing genes in the laboratory), the possibility for ecosystem disruption is quite high, or at least quite unknowable at this point. Rather than proceeding with careful controlled testing, we’ve released this organisms into the wild (to some degree, the ease with which GMO’s have been introduced into the ecosystem is the result of regulatory confusion between the EPA, USDA, and FDA).
