Radical behaviour does nothing to help any situation. Humans have been breeding plants for thousands of years to bring out favourite genes, this is no different. Interesting how this group is willing to poison the land and any of the important invertebrates needed in the soil, to make things better.

Ilaria Pepponi, Research assistant
PhD student. If fundamentalists were deprived of all benefits that were generated through research (vaccines, medicines, etc.) they would realise what a difficult life this would be!

Mario Pezzotti, Professor of Plant Genetics
I am fed up with fundamentalism

Stop the madness! Why does the word Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) trigger a blind hatred in the minds of some people? Instead of destroying years of research (which was funded by the public!), people should talk to scientists about their fears and anxieties toward GMOs. Man has been tempering with the genomes of crops for 10,000 years in an uncontrolled and more dangerous manner than any modern and precise GM techniques. The whole siutation is reminiscent of the dispute Galileo had with the pope. Surely we must have become more reasonable by now?
