Genetic engineering has been "deified". Genetically modified organisms actually harm many

A few days ago, a chief editor of a newspaper in Melbourne made a special trip to the consulate to call on the Counselor of the Chinese ambassador to Melbourne, Zheng Weizhang. He specially recommended a copy of the genetically modified gene by Dr. Rosli Omar of the University of Malaya. Project report. The report was submitted by Mr. Omar to the Genetically Modified Crops Unit of the British Cabinet Office (this article is now available at http://website.com). In his report, he pointed out the various hazards caused by genetic engineering and genetically modified organisms to the environment, agriculture, and human health. He suggested that all genetically modified crops should be banned. One of the words is for reference only. The Chinese Embassy in China will record the translation of the main points of the report (attached below) as follows, hoping to arouse the attention of relevant domestic authorities to this issue. For a long time, genetic engineering has been "deified" and promoted as a new revolution in agricultural development. The negative harm to it has rarely been discussed. In particular, it is difficult for high-level policy makers in various countries to hear what harm GMOs pose. Over time, this will certainly produce fatal errors in the future development of humankind. This article focuses on the various hazards posed by genetic modification to the environment, agriculture, human health, and biodiversity. 1. The destruction of ecosystem ecosystems by genetically modified organisms is an organic whole. The destruction of any part will endanger the entire system. For example, some saline-alkali, marsh, rain forest, and parasite-prone areas were previously unsuitable for agricultural cultivation. Due to the emergence of genetically modified crops, some crops were resistant to salinity, high temperature, high humidity, and resistance to pests and diseases. These areas were all It is used to grow crops, so that the habitats of the living organisms that were originally living here are destroyed, and they have to withdraw from the system, causing degradation, reduction, extinction of the species and destruction of the original ecosystem. 2. Genetically modified species as new species destruction environment There has never been a GMO in the natural world. It belongs to a kind of newborn alien species. Compared with natural organisms, it is more competitive because of its special genes in the body. For example, crops with insect-resistant genes are more resistant to pest attacks than ordinary crops. If this situation continues, GM crops will replace the original crops, causing species extinction. However, this problem is difficult to find at the beginning of the development of GMOs. It may take many years before it becomes apparent, but when such problems arise, it is too late. There have been such examples in history. For example, Australia did not originally have rabbits. After the introduction of rabbits, its number doubled and the plants were eaten, causing great problems to the ecosystem. About a century ago, the introduced mimosa quickly spread in Australia, greatly squeezing out other surrounding plants. The United States imported carnivorous fish, glans and snakes and eaten local fish. In 1959, Britain introduced the Nile River to Lake Victoria for fishing. Unexpectedly, a few decades later, the river raft destroyed the local ecosystem and local fish suffered a catastrophe. 3. Negative Effects of Hybrid Crops on the Environment Transgenes can be passed on to related species through hybridization. Past experience shows that crop hybridization may have a negative impact on the environment. Southeast Asia is the home and center of rice genetic diversity. According to Norman Ellstrand and his colleagues at the University of California, 12 of the world’s 13 most important food crops were crossed with their wild relatives. In Canada, rape used as an experiment only had the function of one of glyphosate, glutamate, and imidazolinone, and later found rapeseed with these three functions, explaining the three kinds of rapeseed. Hybridization occurred. And this kind of rape has a great influence on the surrounding plants. 4. Contamination of non-target organisms by genetically modified organisms Genetically modified organisms can also have adverse effects on non-target organisms. The insect-resistant and disease-resistant transgenic plants released into the environment will have direct or indirect adverse effects on many beneficial organisms in the environment, in addition to the poisoning of pests and pathogens, and may even lead to the death of some beneficial organisms. In addition, transgenic organisms will increase the resistance of target pests. Studies have shown that H. armigera has developed resistance to transgenic Bt cotton. Transgenic cotton has good resistance to the first and second generations of cotton bollworms, but the third and fourth generation bollworms have been resistant to transgenic cotton. Experts warn that if this pest with genetic resistance becomes a super pest with resistance, it will need to spray more pesticides, which will cause greater harm to farmland and the natural ecological environment. 5. Impact of genetically modified organisms on other crops In the world, there are three monopoly companies operating Monsanto, Aventis, and Syngenta. They have applied for legal protection to the seeds of genetically modified crops, which the world can only purchase from these three companies. Moreover, by implanting a special gene in the seed, the seed can only be planted and the second seed can hardly grow; farmers can no longer obtain the seed planted in the second year through the original method, and must go to these three countries annually. The company went to buy. These companies have firmly controlled the use of GM crops in their own hands. Transgenic plants carry out gene transfer through pollen, resulting in contamination of non-transgenic plants. Farmers have found it difficult to buy organic seeds that have not been genetically modified. Due to the lack of necessary isolation measures, GM crops and non-GMO crops are intermingled, causing huge losses to non-GM crops. These three monopoly companies are very overbearing. It is clear that genetically modified crops have contaminated non-genetically modified crops, but they also bluntly argued that farmers often planting non-genetically modified crops infringe their patent rights. For example, a farmer who planted non-genetically modified crops was claimed $400,000. 6. Adverse effects of genetically modified organisms on human health The introduction of genetically modified organisms and their products into the market as food products will cause certain toxicological effects and allergic reactions on the human body. In the past few years, there have been incidents of unsafe food consumption of GM foods. In 2002, the United Kingdom conducted a human residue test of genetically modified food DNA. Seven volunteers who underwent colonic tissue resection received hamburgers made from genetically modified soybeans and detected residues of genetically modified DNA in their small intestinal gut bacteria. Things. The serious impact of GM foods on human health may also take a long time to gradually manifest and monitor them. 7. The Importance of Biodiversity Maintaining biodiversity is an important way to reduce the impact of an outbreak of a disease. The death of Irish potatoes in 1864 caused more than 1 million deaths and millions of people to be displaced because the locals only planted two potato varieties. These two varieties are particularly vulnerable and could not be saved in the event of an accident. As another example, in the 1970s grassy viruses developed in paddy fields in Indonesia and India. Fortunately, one strain of 6273 strains was found to be resistant to the virus. Now it is widely cultivated. . In addition, coffee rust broke out in the coffee crops of Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Central America in 1970, and a resistant species was discovered in Ethiopia, the home of coffee, to save the entire situation. There have been six extinctions in history. The last time was the death of 65 million dinosaurs and other countless species. The effects of genetically modified organisms may be the same as the sixth extinction. New species created by the genes of heterologous species may have unimaginable consequences. 8. The public has become suspicious of genetically modified organisms Nowadays, many countries in the world are beginning to oppose genetically modified organisms, especially the European Union. The public has already raised doubts about GMOs. For example, in the 1990s, British scientists claimed that mad cow disease would not be transmitted to humans, but the final fact was just the opposite. The common people suffered from it. In particular, many departments engaged in scientific research are sponsored by large companies in some industries. For example, Monsanto donated $62 million to the University of Washington. HOECHST (now AVENTIS) donated 70 million to Harvard University. The dollar, so their results are hard to keep fair. At present, Mexico banned the cultivation of genetically modified corn; the European Union suspended the import of genetically modified foods; Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries require clear labeling on genetically modified foods to indicate the content of genetically modified ingredients; many large supermarkets in the UK prohibit the use of genetically modified organisms as raw materials. food. Foods labelled “without any genetically modified organisms” have become increasingly popular. All these. Because GM products have these negative effects, humans should be very cautious about GMOs to avoid unpredictable results.
