Recently a bunch of young protesters stormed onto a field and started pulling out all the plants they could lay their hands on. It hit the news for a moment, but that attention went away just as fast, and their action did not meet the approval of the community.
I believe there are other, more efficient ways to communicate one's disagreement. Admitted, the plants were gmo's, and there are question marks to put against that, because: how far can we trust that, once science achieves useful results and releases these to the world and to commerce, there will be an ethical framework within which they will be used?
Who can claim to have enough foresight to understand what the long-term impacts are of gmo's on man and environment?
And yet ... would science be what it is today if her scientists of the past had had this long-term vision?
