There have been several cases of GM crop disasters in the past. This document takes you through some of the incidents that have been described as accidents and the impact to our food and health in the dangerous world where food is genetically engineered.

Can i have examples with references and factual data to these “Several GM Crop Disasters” that have happened in the past please?
@Dilip – the PDF is on the same page. Perhaps we need to make it more prominent. The direct link is http://www.greenpeace.org/india/assets/binaries/the-story-of-ge-food.pdf
@Greenpeace: I read the paper. In the very first page it says “Genetic engineering can have unpredictable effects because the process is imprecise and random”
Can you tell me how GE crops are produced at “Random”? I fail to understand this word in your scientific paper.
Hi dilip,
We say that the process of producing GM crops is random and imprecise because, the techniques used to insert the genes from foreign organism is very imprecise.
for example, there are two standard processes used:
gene gun, which involves bombarding the genes to be inserted into hundreds and thousands of plant cells at the same time and choosing the one which expresses the character.
another one is called agrobacterium method: which means we let a bacteria containing the desired genes to infect the plant cell and later choose the best one which showns the infection.
both the cases: genetic engineers know of what location the new gene sitting only after they actually inserted the gene. therefore no idea of what other side effects it can cause and no testing can actually bring it out.

Hi Jai,
Can I put up extracts from your paper on GM Food at my Amazon Kindle Blog
