POPSInternational law should govern release of GM mosquitoes This brings up an interesting point - what is the role of the nation state as the world "internationalizes"? What good are EPA regulations when we breath polluted air from China? What good are European regulations on CO2 when the U.S. wont regulate? How does the U.S. compete in stem cell research when it has restrictions on funding? The nation state is no longer the venue for prevention of things like cloning, bacterial engineering, genetic selection, GM foods, etc. We may restrict cloning in the States, but then cloning moves to Mexico or China.

POPSWill the World Survive GM Cultures and the Damage to the Earth's Eco-Systems?
The bio-tech industries have taken a big and dangerous step towards destroying the earth as it has been known for thousands of years. Organic agriculture, biodiversity and natural pest control have made the earth a place for sustainable farming for millennia. However, at this point of delicate balance for the earth's survival, bio-tech corporations want to put an end to everything that is natural in order to make short-term profit from huge monocultures of the genetically modified products that they are falsely marketing as our saviors from world hunger and poverty. India is one country that has been severely hit by the bio-tech industry with accompanying disasters. What follows after the farmers change over to GMO seeds after millennia of planting and making a livelihood in organic farming is a horror story of bad harvests, huge debts, increased costs for herbicides and fertilizers (in spite of the companies' promises of lower costs), and the suicides of thousands of farmers

POPSEating GM foods is a health risk A scientist says negative things about something we are supposed to feel that the Govt would make the right decision on. Governments keep proving that they are not worthy of trust, and the scientists disagree about global warming. No wonder the aliens only come for a quick look/ to check things out and maybe alter dates for the end. I suppose if we are in the way of a planned cyberpass, the end won't matter..

POPSGenetically Modified Crops in the United States Many countries outside the U.S. are vehemently opposed to genetically engineered crops on their shelves because the health risks of such are yet to be determined. Basically, officials in Japan and Britain, for instance, are using the U.S. public as guinea pigs for at least ten years to see what the major health risks are. The countries outside the U.S. that do have genetically modified foods are labeled accordingly, unlike the U.S.

POPSGM crops put humans at risk These findings ought not surprise the scientist! Unless of course, they are so utterly negligent as to ignore their own theories. But YES that is what they do; ignore fact and variables to their own preferred end. FINANCIALLY DRIVEN FALSE results! And here is what we get. Oh if they would only listen to YH.

POPSThe Murky World of High-Fructose Corn Syrup Nobody thinks of Coca-Cola as being a genetically modified beverage, but the sweetener used in it is derived using gm enzymes from gm corn. High fructose corn syrup is in most processed foods these days. This article makes you wonder about it.

POPSGenetically modified foods I hope the European Union continues to ban gm foods since losing markets is what causes the United States to change their policies.

POPSGMO Giant sleeping with Politicians What a surprise. NOT! 60% of the processed foods you eat contain GMO products and Monsanto is the #1 US manufacturer. No labeling laws here in the states. I wonder why? !!!!!

POPS Hunger Due to Injustice, Not Lack of Food Worth noting:: "In addition, the offspring of some GM plants are sterile, which means they cannot be stored to grow future crops. Poor farmers thus become dependent on transnational companies, and are forced to buy new seeds every year."
