Scientists Warn New Supercharged GMOs Could Be Turned into a Bioweapon
The title kinda sounds like the plot of a bad Sci-Fi movie, doesn’t
it? Oh NOOO! THE SUPERCHARGED FRANKENCORN IS TAKING OVER!! RUUUUN!!!
Sadly, though, it’s true and it’s called “gene drive”.
Scientists are now warning
that “supercharged” GMOs may be “misused” to “accidentally or
deliberately” cause environmental disasters or health emergencies.
Of course proponents of this new “gene drive” technology being rolled
out in the GMO arena claim it is supposed to revolutionize everything
and make the world a wonderful place where we can all skip merrily
through a wheat field with a basket of Labrador retriever puppies
wearing little bows around their necks like a Hallmark card calendar
shoot.
