Topics about Biotechnology in Brazil: Essays in Literary and Cultural Studies

Autor Luiz Antonio Barreto de Castro
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mai 2015
Genetic engineering is an area still under severe controversy particularly in Brazil where early this March of 2015 more than a hundred women invaded FUTURAGENE and destroyed almost a decade of science accumulated by this company in GM Eucalyptus. Biotechnology has progressed in Brazil under strong reaction by activists that continuously destroy experimental work being developed by several companies and unfortunately do not pay the price to work illegally. It is unfortunate that even in other countries reactions of this sort happen like the destruction of the experiments with golden rice in the International Rice Institute in the Philippines. Never in history was a technology so pursued by activism and as we follow the history Biotechnology since the name of the technology was Recombinant DNA, scientifically we do not encounter reasons for these attitudes, because genetic engineering caused no harm neither to man nor to the environment since Asilomar that decided for a moratorium for the technology early in the seventies and prompted NIH to design rules for its safe use adopted all over the world.
