Re: Moratorium Called on Genetically Modified Foods



Well, I am not going to run down science but please recognize the many 
amateurs over the ages who observed and acted to collect,sellect and at 
times created varieties of plants and animals we treasure today. Amateurs 
also have a critical role in preserving these variations.  Think of 
apples. There are thousands of distinct named varieties.  Amateurs are 
responsible for many of them and are vital in their preservation.  The 
scientist are are also making discoveries and creations and testing for 
desired characteristics.  Perhaps they can be called the professional 
amateurs.
