As pollinators, honeybees are a very important link to life on this planet. This link is currently being threatened by something called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Bees are abandoning their hives in droves and scientists have been scratching their heads trying to figure out why. They may have found a culprit, and guess what? It's our fault. (act surprised)
"Several scientists have come forward with the startling claim that genetically modified food – you know, that blessing from above that would solve famine and put food in the belly of every undernourished, Third World child – is destroying bees. How could something so wondrous as pest-resistant corn kill millions upon millions of bees? Simple – by producing so much natural pesticide that bees are either driven mad or away. "

My advice? Burn GMO (genetically modified organism) fields to the ground, now, today, then outlaw GMO and give scientists something else to work on, like curing cancer or mental disorders such as homosexuality or liberalism or something. GM crops aren't necessary anyway. Our government is still paying some farmers not to produce, so why do we need genetically modified frankenfood to protect the food supply from pests?

Also scary is how all this genetic engineering is affecting animals. When considering the moral implications, we have to look at what is already happening. There is this video of a 2 nosed cow. I think it's just the tip of the iceberg. Check it out: http://thenewsroom.com/details/293754/Life+and+Leisure
