Do you know that…?

GENETIC ENGINEERING IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM SELECTION AND HYBRID OR CROSS FERTILIZATION OF NEW TYPES OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS. Artificial introduction of genes, alien to organisms seriously disturbs the clearly regulated genetic control of the normal cell. Manipulation with genes is totally different from combination of paternal and maternal chromosomes occurring during fertilization, where the innate structure of the genes remains intact. 
GENETIC ENGINEERING TODAY IS TECHNICALLY IMPERFECT. It cannot control the process of introduction of new gene. So to predict the positioning of the gene and the effect it may produce is impossible. Even if its positioning is predicted, DNA data will not be complete to clearly foresee the results. 
AS A RESULT OF ARTIFICIALLY ADDING ALIEN GENES, new dangerous substances may emerge, such as toxins, allergens and other harmful substances. Information about them is not sufficient at all. 
NO RELIABLE METHODS OF SAFETY CONTROL EXIST. It is not possible to identify more than 10% of side effects of new pharmaceuticals, despite careful research and policy on safety. The risks of GM foods are far greater than is the case with pharmaceuticals. 
EXISTING SAFETY MEAUSRES ARE INSUFFICIENT. They are made in such a way as to simplify the process of approval and registration. Thus the risk that these harmful substances will not be revealed during safety controls is very high. 
KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT OF GM ON NATURE IS VERY LIMITED. It is not proved that GMO are harmless for the environment. Scientists warn us of various ecological problems. For example, there are various channels through which potentially dangerous genes used in biotechnology may spread into the environment, such as through bacteria and viruses. Environmental impact of these processes will be irreversible as the released genes will never be brought back. 
NEW AND DANGEROUS VIRUSES MAY EMERGE. Experiments have shown that the genes built into the genome of the virus can unite themselves with genes of infectious viruses (the so-called recombination). Such new viruses are more aggressive than their predecessors. They may also be less specific. For example, plant viruses may be harmful for insects, animals and people. 
KNOWLEDGE OF THE DNA AS HERITAGE CARRIERS IS ALSO INSUFFICIENT. Only 3% of the functions of the DNA are known. It is risky to tamper with complex systems, of which we do not have full knowledge. Experience in the areas of ecology, biology and medicine have shown that, unforeseen problems may come up. 
GM FOOD PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE MUCH VALUE FOR HUMANITY. They are mostly meant for satisfying commercial needs of corporations. 
GENETIC ENGINEERING CANNOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OF HUNGER. The assumption that GM foods will really address the problem of hunger and food security in the world is a myth unsubstantiated by science and reality.
