| For news you
wont read in the papers / tv - the world in Context - eg.:"Genes
do move naturally between crops and their wild relatives. It is part
of the evolution process. Genetic engineering technology, however,
is designed to transfer genes horizontally between species that do not
normally interbreed, to break down species barriers and overcome defence
mechanisms which would normally degrade or inactivate foreign genes. Genetic
engineering technology is inherently hazardous precisely because it depends
on constructs that will cross species barriers." |
