GE crops are no where near to delivering on their promise...If so, then why do are we even considering banning it? If it doesn't work, surely nobody would want it?
And we want to bring these genetic failures onto our shores? For what purpose? To what end? If conventional breeding technologies are far outstripping genetic technologies, are cheaper and more readily deployable, why should New Zealand go down this path at all? It’s not like we’re world leaders or anything like it. Keep it in the lab, I say!
Or are big corporations only self-interested when it suits you ideologically?
PS: I am writing a longer post on the philosophy of coercion which I will publish in the next few days, but it is taking longer than anticipated.
