Advantages: Life saving

Disadvantages: Emotive

GM is a very emotive subject, and it can be all the better for it. But we do sometimes have to take emotion to onwe side and look at ALL the facts before we make a decision.

GM has, if you read some other opinions, been going on for a long time. Indeed it probably has a longer history than most of us realise. The devlopment has ment life for so many people, but at what expence. Well to put it bluntly a few animals is what it has cost us. Call me sadistic but I would choose life for humans above animals every time.

So what developments have been made, well the most significant is diabites. But for GM development many would have drastically different lives. Meningitis vaccines have also been down the GM path. I have had first hand experince of it effects and am greatful for vaccines and animal experiments to save lives.

Some may feel I am selfish to want this to continue, well I am guilty of that. Though, be you religious or otherwise what price can we put on human life. I do agree that cosmetics etc. should not be GM developed or tested but when it comes to life giving please look past the experiment and look at the life it gives.
