A Changing Portrait Of DNA

Sorry, I was having browser and password difficulties when I posted this 3 times.

If as the headline for Mary Carmichael's article says "Every day... scientists learn something new about how our genes work", then her article should be Exhibit A in the case for why Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) are a terrible idea. The biologists who perform this truly voodoo science are shooting genes into the genome essentially at random. They have no clear idea what the short term consequences are and certainly no idea what the long term consequences are. As Jeffrey Smith wrote in his excellant book Seeds of Deception these scientists are operating under the assumptions of genetic theory that is 40 yrs old. As only a single example, 40 years ago they assumed that one gene produced one protein. Now they know that the ratio is more like 4 or 5 proteins to one gene. Our planet's genetics are an infinitely intricate and precious dance that should not be disrupted forever by the ignorant practitioners of the present day.

It is just incredible. This is one of the most important fields of science that the government must invest in and not waste money in war and destruction. Hold on to the antidote, the enemy has no choice but to keep you alive.
