GM Free Cymru welcomes GM warning from Prince Charles

Prince Charles has today expressed grave concerns about the impact of GM crops on the environment and on farmers across the world, in an interview for the Daily Telegraph (1). Supporting his comments on behalf of GM Free Cymru and the GM Free Wales Alliance, spokesman Brian John said:

Sowing feudalism

Atomic science gave birth to weapons civilised people wish never existed. Now agricultural genetic engineering is on the verge of bringing into being another monster future generations will face with the same perplexity and anguish we feel about our nuclear bombs.

Genetic engineers made DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) a long molecule wrapped tightly within the nucleus of every living cell, the king of their realm, the oracle whose message might even lead bioengineers to make men.

"In decades hence, it would not surprise me to find historians looking back in horror at the cavalier and primitive genetic manipulations which we unleashed on an unsuspecting-and narrow minded-world. The permanent contamination of species with human-transfered genes is a plague to be avoided."
Dr Marc Lappe( 1943-2005)

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever did".
