Genes on the Menu.Facts for Knowledge-Based Decisions

摘要

Eight European scientists have provided comprehensive information,knowledge,comments,raised issues and posed questions on every angle related to 'genetically modified' (GM) crops.The subject matter is thoroughly scrutinised,interpreted,critically reviewed and evaluated,always in a sensitive manner,leading the reader through the science and all the arguments surrounding the pros,the cons,the unknown,the reasonable and unreasonable arguments that have been expressed.The specific details in the book reflect mainly European predicaments and scenarios and cannot be extrapolated to other countries.It is important to remember that the USA and the European Union are at loggerheads in trade disputes over whether the imposition of tough European rules regarding GM crop traceability are scientifically sensible and necessary.
