On November 27, 2009, the National Commission for the Safety of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms approved the safety certificates for two types of transgenic rice and a genetically modified corn. Since then, the questioning has continued, and people are extremely worried about the safety of genetically modified rice.
China is a large country with a population of 1.3 billion. Rice is a staple food for the Chinese people. It matters. The government wants to use genetically modified rice to solve the Chinese people's food problems. It is worthy of recognition. However, it lacks careful consideration about its safety.
In fact, the concerns of the Chinese people are not groundless. There are many cases of GM food hazards in the world. For example, in October and November 2007, the United States’ “New York Times†and other media reported that after long-term follow-up observations, it was found that two types of genetically modified corn plants resulted in the survival of harmful butterflies, causing side effects to the food production chain and affecting river life. The normal survival, the degree of threat to the ecological environment has exceeded the acceptable level. For this reason, the European Union has already made a preliminary decision to ban the use of the seeds of the GM corn.
China’s “father of hybrid rice†and Academician Yuan Longping said in an interview with the media that biotechnology such as genetic modification is an inevitable trend in the development of agricultural science and technology, and people’s confidence in genetically modified products is “understandableâ€. He suggested recruiting volunteers to conduct clinical research. Tests to determine if GM foods are safe. He further stated that "if there are no problems in two generations (eaten genetically modified foods), it proves that the genetically modified food can be eaten boldly. His remarks can be seen that he is still concerned about the safety of genetically modified rice. .
GM or the long-term plan to benefit the country and the people, we do not prevent it until the day when its security concerns are eliminated and then promote it. Only by doing so can the people enjoy peace of mind before they can benefit the people.
