Biotech GMO/GE food tested on animals. Ethics?

Gambling w/ Biotech's GMO/GE Pesticides is Playing Genetic Roulette w/ our Ecosystem

Thanks Stephen for supplying people with alternative remedies to toxic petrochemical pesticides. In addition we need to challenge the extended freedoms granted to biotech corporations who claim "corporate personhood" when releasing their genetically modified/engineered (GMO/GE) corn (maize) pollen into the air that we all collectively breathe..

Finally the long awaited evidence is presented by Jeffery Smith in his latest work "Genetic Roulette" that details the documented risks and health problems suffered by people exposed to the pollen drift of GMO/GE in the fields. One example occurred in the Phillipines where villagers living downwind of a GMO/GE rice field were made ill after exposure to the pollen. Both rice and corn have fine grained pollen that travels considerable distances and can contaminate non-GMO/GE corn plants as occurred in Oaxaca, MX..

"Genetic Roulette
The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods"

by Jeffrey M. Smith

"Eating genetically modified food is gambling with every bite.

The biotech industry’s claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking book. Sixty-five health risks of the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. The second half of Genetic Roulette shows how safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems presented in the first half.

This book, prepared in collaboration with a team of international scientists, is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith’s Seeds of Deception the world’s best-selling book on genetically engineered foods. As the world’s most complete reference on the health risks of GM foods, Genetic Roulette is also ideal for schools and libraries."

NOTE on GMO/GE foods & animal testing;

Many activists are oppossed to animal testing for ethical and accuracy reasons. For accuracy, any product tested in mass proportion that is strong enough to kill or damage a rat will most likely kill a human, though something that does NOT kill a rat could possibly also kill a human. Ethics of testing toxic products on these animals is another matter, though the corporations themselves perform the testing (or contract out to animal research specialists like HLS), the test results can be later obtained by researchers.

Should we subject animals to potentially dangerous food products if it saves human lives? Let's open this up for online debate and don't be afraid to get angry and express your outrage at being stuck in this serious moral quandry..
