Truth about GMO

The completion of the Human Genome Project was begrat with much enthusiasm and many hopes for a bright future pregnant with new possibilities. Currently incurable diseases would be detected early enough and would be prevented before they developed. Damaged organs will be replaced with brand would cloned organs fully with our bodies, because these institutions would be specially grown from our own stem cells. Our children would be healthier and live longer. The possibilities that are in the horizon seemed endless. Some even believed that one day we would even defeat and death would suggest maybe God in his own game.

Over the last forty years, genes have gradually gained a new value as the raw resources or the building blocks of an already happened that biotech revolution has been pervasive almost every industry in world markets. Those who have been involved in the running of the decoding of the genetic code of living beings on this planet were also part of a vicious race of the acquisition of patents and intellectual property rights.

Although the ethical challenges of the biotech revolution are still being discussed, patents for biotechnological inventions on living Matter how genetically modified seeds, micro-organisms, genes, tissues, cell lines and many other components of life are now a reality. This double-edged sword has a dilemma. On the one hand, it is essential to a healthy balance between the interests of inventors and society through a social contract as a patent, which should also promote scientific progress and a secure platform for the continuation of future inventions. On the other hand, such patents closely related to food and health, under the strict control of a small group of companies, worries many people, clear, understandable that in the near future, one will have to pay royalties or have no access to certain health services.

In today, many hospitals, patients must meet certain tests to see if they have a specific gene or a genetic predisposition for certain diseases, to pay a royalty fee, the patent-holding company for the specific gene is executed . For many, after the payment of a "fee" to a "gene-scan" from "their own genes" is not acceptable. Although medical technology will soon have the capacity to screen thousands of genes and genetic predispositions in the near future and offers a wide selection of new treatment methods and solutions to various diseases, there is no doubt that some use patents to extort money from literally those of us in search of a cure.

If They diagnosed a rare disease and cancer should be treated with a special type of protein that facilitates the growth of a specific anti-cancer agents, do not be surprised if you find that you pay a Chunky royalties to a company that you have never heard of it. They no longer have any rights on your genes or your "own body tissues as" someone else "has already claimed the intellectual property rights" your "body parts" without your consent or knowledge.

In the future, we must all pay our Fees to a consortium of biotech elites, where access to our own genetic heritage. Life has finally admitted that the goods are traded, and also extremely inheritable profitable.
