Signatures

Guillermo F Beraza, Engineer, environmentalist and social activist
The only thing we fear is what we ignore. Our most primitive instinct is to run away or destroy it in order to survive. Unlike animals, we have an option: knowledge. That is what science is about. Denying it will make us more violent, more afraid, more weak and less human.

Ken Chalmers, University Researcher

Christopher Maxey, Engineer

Jon, Unemployed

Hayley, Theatrical technician
The only way humanity can move forward is through knowledge - willful ignorance and fear of the unknown will only hold us back.

Alana Donaldson, Pharmacist
I think this is a great example of how ignorance and fear influence a group of people to act out in anger and spoil a potentially positive thing for humanity and the environment. I hope for the sake of progess these people are open to listening to the scientists on this matter.

Take the opportunity for dialogue, before carrying out a gesture that cannot be undone.

J Otjen, Physician
We can pity people who act violently against science, as they will not amount to much. But our pity should not turn to tolerance for their aggression.

Konstantin Yakovlev, Postdoctoral researcher
I think that the GMO represent a real danger only in mind of some people.

Tom Pidcock, Student MSc
