Why is the Trump administration using billions in taxpayer dollars to subsidize GMO agriculture?

When President Trump first took office, there was renewed hope among anti-GMO activists that he would take positive action to curtail the $350 billion-a-year biotechnology industry. After all, both on the campaign trail and for the first 353 days of his presidency he never mentioned the words biotechnology, CRISPR, eugenics, gene therapy or embryo editing. […]

Biotech companies that can genetically engineer farm animals to have “designer” characteristics – like cows without horns (yes, cows really are supposed to have horns) – can make a whole lot of money selling these animals to farmers. Unfortunately for them, farm animals are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which subjects these […]

Frankinsects: Scientists have “edited” a yellow, wingless mosquito with three eyes as a pest control strategy

Could mosquitoes be the next insect to fall prey to modern science? Researchers from the University of California at Riverside have just unveiled a “gene-edited” mosquito; they say their creation could pave the way for controlling the mosquito population. But as we’ve seen in pollinator populations, just because scientists say their concepts or products are safe, doesn’t […]

GMO scientists just created “doomsday crops” containing RNA fragments that intentionally cause mass infertility

As advocacy against “conventional” GMO crops continues to grow, it comes as no surprise that the biotech industry has been doing its best to develop a new way to modify crops. One of the top concerns about current modification techniques is the transgenic component — which allows crops to be engineered to produce different proteins that would […]
