examination process in which companies that develop a GE crop are encouraged to share the data of studies they may have conducted on their GE crop (The GMO Deception). “A recent independent Canadian study found that a toxin from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)‚ which has been engineered into Bt corn‚ was present in the bloodstream of 93 percent of pregnant women‚ as well as in the fetal cord blood of 80 percent of pregnant women. These findings cast grave doubt on the biotechnology industry’s

Contemporary Issues Environmental threats Overpopulation Every 20 minutes‚ the world adds another 3‚500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life - at least 27‚000 species per year. ZGP July 1999 World population growth peaked at about two percent per year in the early 1960s. Latest population figures indicate that the rate of growth has slowed to 1.33 percent annually‚ equivalent to 78 million people a year. UNFPA 1999 The highest world population growth

GMOs Causing More Harm than Good Gregory T. Hedge Com150 May 12‚ 2013 Luberta M. Bigg Abstract (Add Abstract here) GMOs Causing More Harm than Good A statement was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the early 1990’s that advised consumers that there had been no danger associated with consuming foods containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) therefore no “safety” studies were necessary. The FDA furthermore made the ruling that the labeling of GMO foods was not mandatory

1- Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by Bacillus sp.: The microorganisms in the most contaminated toilet Sink were isolated by dilution technique. The dominant bacterial strains are identified as Bacillus sp.‚ on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. Gram’s staining: Gram positive and rod shape. They were serially diluted and spread on nutrient agar plates. The starch has been hydrolyzed and a clear zone by the addition of iodine solution. Visual identification: When bacterial

COMP 2000 31 March 2014 The Human-Animal Relationship Within Transgenics The pigs‚ pale pink and bristly‚ trot around the pen‚ stopping every so often to root in piles of bedding. They grunt and squeal and wag their short curlicue tails. All three like a hard scratch on the rump. In almost every way‚ these broad-backed oinkers are just like the other Yorkshire pigs at the opposite end of the barn. All except for the brackish green muck that oozes from their backsides. And the snippet of mouse

GMO: Friend or Foe? Introduction What is it? First of all‚ what is a GMO‚ or Genetically Modified Organism? Put simply‚ a GMO is an organism that has been genetically modified to improve its ability to grow in environments that it is not native to‚ resist pests without having to spray pesticides‚ tolerate extreme weather conditions‚ produce more food (such as milk in cows)‚ or show other desired traits. GMOs are produced through a technique which is generally known as recombinant DNA technology
