: Thanks a lot Zoe for posting your message here! : Personally I object to the idea of having GM food since I've read about experiments showing that there is a negative effect on the brain development in mice after they consume GM food regularly. : I've checked through the internet and I found a few related and useful sites on this. : New Scientist Home : http://gmworld.newscientist.com/ : Killer Corn : http://www.stn2.net/pagesl1/killercorn/ltips.html : Biotechnology in agriculture : http://www.fao.org/ag/magazine/9901sp1.htm : International scientists raise concerns over genetically modified food : http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/feb1999/food-f17.shtml : I'm still looking for information about the other two topics. I'll post them up as soon as possible. : : : THis might be a little off track... but what do you think about the (oer)reaction to GM foods? Personally, I do recognise it is a problem, but talks of baning it totally is ridiculous! I mean, whiout it, we wouldn't have such things as ast growing crops to keep our fast growing population (at least most of it) well fed and alive!! : : What do you guys think? : : another thing... what do you guys think about the theory of a neuro by-passer for such patients as Christopher Reeves who have spinal injury? My father has a spinal injury also, and he's quite optimistic about this technique to be developed quite soon? : : Lastly, have you guys heard about a new medicine or machine type of thing which continually injects insulin to people with diabetes, especially people with Type 1 diabetes? My little cousin has this illness, and she's trying to look for something like that. I read it in a mdeical magazine, but do any of you know any more to that?
