Arrow Genetically modified rice has long term side effects...
GM rice has long-term risks

CHINA DAILY 2010-02-04 18:57
Genetically modified rice may potentially cause serious public health and environmental problems, experts warn.
Genetically modified organisms have genetic material, or DNA, that has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. Genetic modification allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, and also between non-related species, to create advantages, experts say. Such methods are used to create genetically modified plants, which are then used to grow genetically modified food crops.
Two major issues about GM rice are their tendencies to provoke allergic reactions and the uncertainty of gene transfers

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
