It will then further contribute to the greatly increased involvement in consumer organizations. This involvement has yielded significant results in Europe which has inspired even more people to join in. It is time for the US government to swallow the bitter truth - that the world is realizing that the launch of genetically engineered products on to the market is highly premature and unjustifiable. In the case of GE products, the risks are so incompletely known that leading insurance experts now are warning for insuring GE businesses . The world is already suffering from the damage from products launched before sufficient knowledge has been gathered about their safety.
Genetic engineering is incomparably the most profound manipulation of nature ever done.
As released genes cannot be recalled, harmful consequences are irreparable and may spread indefinitely. Very little is known about the environmental consequences. Yet the US uses all its power to force the world to accept its world wide application blindly. It is unrealistic to believe that this will be successful at length. The more force the US is using, the more resistance it is likely to meet.
