There is a great deal of concern and apprehension regarding the modification of agricultural products by gene transplantation, particularly in Europe. Alarmist propaganda has led people to believe they are unsafe. In fact , there is absolutely no scientific evidence for this and the reason given is simply "precaution." One of Man's greatest achievements is in danger of being lost, namely the new technologies to feed the world!

Dr. Norman Borlaug discusses this in the article published in the Wall Street Journal for Sept. 6, 2000. Dr. Borlaug won the Noble Prize in 1970 for his accomplishments in agriculture.

The United Nations is also concerned in the subject of gene transplantation to improve crop production and quality, and the following article in the American Association for the United Nation's journal attests to this. It is highly illuminating.
