Regulatory Oversight and Safety Assessment of Plants with Novel Traits
Because plants are a fundamental constituent of the human diet, either as a direct source of nutrients, or indirectly as feed for animals, scientific and technical advances in agriculture have played a crucial role in ensuring food security, in meeting feedstock demands, and in providing various benefits to society at large. Over the past few centuries, techno-scientific progress in agriculture...
متن کاملCisgenic plants are similar to traditionally bred plants: international regulations for genetically modified organisms should be altered to exempt cisgenesis.
The testing and release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)—in particular GM plants—is tightly regulated internationally to prevent any negative effects on the environment or human health. However, these regulations are based on transgenic organisms and do not discriminate between transgenic plants and cisgenic plants, although we believe that they are fundamentally different (see sidebar)...
متن کاملIs it only the regulatory status? Broadening the debate on cisgenic plants
In current debates on emerging technologies for plant breeding in Europe, much attention has been given to the regulatory status of these techniques and their public acceptance. At present, both genetically modified plants with cisgenic approaches-using genes from crossable species-as well as transgenic approaches-using genes from different species-fall under GMO regulation in the EU and both a...
متن کاملDo the Reciprocal Trust Less?
Do the Reciprocal Trust Less? We study the intrapersonal relationship between trust and reciprocity in a laboratory experiment. Reciprocal subjects trust significantly more than selfish ones. This finding raises questions about theories of social preferences which predict that “fairer” players should trust less. JEL Classification: C91, D63
متن کاملEvidence That a Subset of Aneurysms Less Than 7 mm Warrant Treatment
T he management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UAs) has been a very controversial topic in neurosurgery. There is no clear consensus at present as to when a small UA should be treated and when it should be observed. The magnitude of this problem is increasing with advances in imaging, its widespread use, and the introduction of family screening, which have led to an increased rate of ide...
