Farmers will only be allowed to fatten the patented animals and not to propagate or breed them. Other pig breeders will only have access to the animals under licence from Genus. This will allow Genus to further expand its market domination, so the costs of purchasing piglets are likely to rise. #GMO
Bloomberg presents plant-pig hybrids as all about the alternative-meat market. But Moolec's CEO has said he's more interested in the trillion-dollar global meat market, where soy is used to supplement the real meat in processed meats, such as pork sausages. More on this👇 gmwatch.org/en/main-menu...
Welcome to the second part of our two-part Techno-Food Reviews, in which we’re flagging up a double onslaught by the biotech lobby on regulatory safeguards and the public purse. The aim? To fast-track...
The carefully referenced information at the link we gave explains that gene "editing" isn't precise in the way implied/claimed because more and more studies in human, animal and plant cells show it gives rise to numerous genetic errors, including large deletions, insertions and rearrangements of DNA
That's why when saying the science supports Kirksey, Church and others who say the 'editing' metaphor is misleading, because it implies precision and control, we gave a link to the supporting evidence. Enjoy
Kirksey and Church point out the commonly used metaphors of "gene editing" & "genetic scissors" deceive people about the messiness of the processes described, which they say are better represented by drone attacks and blunt axes. We believe the science supports them www.gmwatch.org/en/20386-gen...
Yes, one who studies the frontiers of genetics, medicine and technology. But if you want your linguistic analysis from someone directly involved in genetic engineering, then George Church describes gene editing as "a blunt axe" and says, "It's called editing, I think it's really genome vandalism."
