#ChatGPT creates #geneticallyengineered insecticidal maize plant – check out the freshly published article in Frontiers in Plant Science!

According to the @EUCommission legislative proposal, this #NGT plant would not have to be tested for risks or labelled.

@testbiotech demands: This proposal must be rejected, because it does not guarantee safe handling of #NGTplants. It is already technically and scientifically obsolete before it would even come into force.

#geneticallyengineered animals: According to the European Food Safety Authority @EFSA@social.network.europa.eu there are no new risks associated with the use of #newgeneticengineering techniques (#NGT).

In contrast, a fullness of scientific publications show that #CRISPR & Co. are likely to result in specific risks and additional animal suffering.

Claim that #Chinese #scientists created 100% fatal #COVID19strain misconstrues study’s findings

Researchers in #China recently released a study, which has not been peer-reviewed, that tested the #GX_P2V #coronavirus on #geneticallyengineered mice. Although #GXP2V belongs to the coronavirus family, it did not originate from #SARS-CoV-2, which causes #COVID19.

In light of new findings on #environmentalrisks of #geneticallyengineered plants in Europe, Testbiotech is calling on #Bayer and the @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu to end the cultivation of transgenic maize MON810 in Spain and Portugal.

The first #CRISPR tomatoes are on the shelves in Japan. Neither the benefits nor the risks have been investigated in detail. Consumption is not recommended for pregnant women.

If #newgeneticengineering (#NewGE) is deregulated in Europe as proposed by the @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu such products could soon be on the shelves here too – without #riskassessment and without labeling.

Testbiotech presents a comprehensive analysis of the deregulation proposal as part of the @EU_Commission's consultation.

In short: The technical potential, but also the technical shortcomings of tools such as #CRISPR/Cas make it necessary that all #geneticallyengineered organisms continue to be subject to an in-depth #riskassessment in the future.

https://www.testbiotech.org/en/news/testbiotech-warns-about-far-reaching-deregulation-new-ge-plants

The proposol of the @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu to largely deregulate #newgeneticengineering goes against science, the #precautionaryprinciple and the protection of health and the environment.

The abolition of #labelling & #riskassessment of #geneticallyengineered products on the basis of arbitrary, unclear criteria that are difficult to interpret in detail carries the risk of shaking trust in the institutions of the EU.

A national #biodiversity group says #Canada needs to keep #GeneticallyEngineered #animals out of the #wild , after the #federal #government recently rejected several attempts to strengthen its existing laws.

For me, the best part of this #science-based takedown of the "#TransWomen all have an unfair advantage by default" lie is the conclusion where #Sabine points out that the corrupt nature of #sports will inevitably lead to #GeneticallyEngineered #athletes rendering all sports #competitions (and the controversy over trans athletes) irrelevant.
