The Myriad Genetics gene patenting case and GMO’s
June 29, 2013
here are too many possible studies or claims that could be rooted in
bad food, including possible links to autism in children and Alzheimer's
and links to cancers in adults. It's not a funny issue and should be
taken seriously, but it seems as if we haven't yet reached a tipping
point. I hope it comes soon though, considering all of the dissent
amongst much of the educated public against GMO's or their labeling. So,
maybe the Myriad Genetics case could have some bearing on GMO's by
existentially providing a crux as to the companies producing GMO's
needing to show burden of proof that their patented products are
completely safe for human and animal consumption and do not harm the
environment. Of course it must be real science that is proven by
third-parties working closely with government regulators, and no
interference by Monsanto or others.
Otherwise, can't it be said that we as a population are being held hostage against our will with our food and have not been given credible evidence, simply because a company claims patents on genes that make up the greater food supply? Just think about it."
