Classic from Claire Hope Cummins for all interested in how GMOs got here. curezone/blogs/fm.asp?i=2184312curezone/blogs/fm.asp?i=2184312 According to Lily Kay, an assistant professor of the history of science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, genetic engineering came about as the result of the concerted effort of a few scientists, who, along with their academic and philanthropic sponsors, had a shared vision about how they could use genetics to reshape science and society. The developers of molecular biology (a term coined by the Rockefeller Foundation) were confident that it would offer them a previously unimagined power and control over both nature and society. MY TAKE-- Out of this the roots of BIO, the International Biotechnology Industry Organiization, that June 23-24-25-26 had its annual meeing in San Diego, can be traced. This is my favorite quote for an article that clearly expresses Hilary Clintons clear leading for Biotech, including Biotech GMOs in the farm field. “I stand in favor of using seeds and products that have a proven track record,” she said, citing drought-resistant seeds she backed as secretary of state. “There’s a big gap between the facts and what the perceptions are.”--Hillary Clinton. timesofsandiego/politics/2014/06/25/hillary-clinton-cheers-biotechers-backs-gmos-and-federal-help/
