Do we really want to go there?

If the tolerance level is an absolute zero; then GM is forever.

Is this a little better business model for recalls, charliep?

Seems like Nobody; and I mean nobody seems to want to discuss the prospect of 9 billion people.

To the matter of feeding 9 billion mouths - it will be done no more easily with GM wheat than without.

Well perhaps I should modify that to say that it WOULD help if the modification would include a gene that would selectively assassinate despots and dictators that cause their countries immeasurable harm - i.e. Mugabe, Lenin types.

The world is able to quite easily feed its people with existing wheat types. The hindrance to full tummies is political rather than agronomic in nature.

Ironically, allowing the commercial production of GM crops is simply an insidious form of the same kind of despotic control as was demonstrated by Lenin or Mao.

You pay whether you play or not. If you don't want to play you will be either re-educated or eliminated.

The appetite of 9 billion people is not the problem - the ideology of a few is.

Well looky here!

The way I look at it is that there is no way that the earth can sustain the current population; let alone doubling it; considering the expectations of the present developed and developing world nations.
If I'm dead wrong, then quit bothering to chastise anyone for the side effects of living more materialistic and comfortable lives. We are nothing but hypocrites; because I believe that Mother Nature can not sustain both unrestrained population growth; and exponential consumption growth of non renewable and renewable materials and there wastes and by products.
It would be brutally honest to concede that nothing would be more environmentally friendly than having one less kid. (or two or three or whatever it takes to strike a balance without eventually destroying the cleansing capacity of the air and soil. If the world thought that way our environmental challenges might very well almost disappear.

Oneoff,

Is the sun going to stop shineing... or is it because 6b folks have a hard time getting along... 3b more increases the risk of self destruction even further?

We CAN do anything we set our minds to... if we want to. Innovation is all about a state of mind.

We humans are creative by design... because our designer built us to be creative. Also we are designed with the knowledge of good and evil... and the right to choose which path we want to follow.

The mind police have not won... unless we give up and let them win!

But then this has been the challenge of humanity from the very beginning... we must choose who we will serve!!!

[TOM4CWB]

We have the right to choose between 'everlasting life' and 'eternal life'.

The first involves time... the second involves life with the creator of time!

I love the idea... that I can be part... of an existance that is beyond time!!!
