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.
