Genetically engineered food can harm the environment (Torr) and is also cruel to animals (Rifkin). Genetically modified foods may cause allergic responses (Smith). Jeffrey Smith‚ author of two books about the risks of genetically modified foods‚ states that one genetically modified GM food‚ soy‚ is linked to the soaring number of allergic reactions

Rifkin has proven nothing new and merely demonstrates the hypocrisy of his animal rights beliefs. First‚ Rifkin doesn’t prove anything new about animal and human similarity. His statement‚ “They are more like us than we imagined‚ scientists are finding” is backed up with individual and single experiments

Jeremy Rifkin in "Biotech Century" and Michael Bishop in "Enemies of Promise" talks about the science as their argument in a casual sense of manner. The fear of the unknowingness of what science can provided for future can be argued in a causal manner with Rifkin and Bishop. The casual argument starts off with a typical argument in favor for science. Science provides the people with

To me this small section that riots on about the possible dangers of genetically altering plants to make them more resistant to natural elements is enough to make me question what exactly is being done to these plants.

The article “A Change of Heart About Animals” by Jeremy Rifkin‚ printed in the L.A times‚ states that “animals are more like us than we imagine.” Scientist have proven this by the animals behavior‚ intelligence‚ and emotions. I believe that animals deserve the same love and affection as humans do. Today‚ governments

Serial Killers: What Really Makes Them Tick Are serial murderers born with an instinct to kill‚ or is it something that forms over time? Sometimes it is one or the other‚ but it can also be a combination of both‚ and in most cases it is.
