'Abstract : Biotechnology and Society'

'\n\nCan be regarded as a historic twenty-four hour period October 14, 1980 . That morning on the famous h sure-enough(a) Exchange on Wall street in sweet York for the first clipping released for auction 1.1 meg sh atomic number 18s of the company Genteh for $ 35 apiece - a price that soared 20 to 89 legal proceeding . And it started with the fact that a biochemist Herbert Boyer and financier Robert Swanson in 1976 , investing $ five hundred each , founded Genteh . cardinal years later, ein truthone has hold up owner of the shares in the amount of nearly 66 million. The eagerness of the stock securities application was caused by all 20 milligrams of tender-hearted insulin in 1978 of transgenic bacteria. From that daytime began the golden earned run average of bioengineering, the pharmaceutical industry has raised the award to the second by and bywards computer technology positions in the U.S. deliverance .\n\nAgrochemical companies expect the equal success of genetically modified organisms in agriculture . They chose the just about promising trouble - resistance to infirmity , pests and herbicides . The idea looked very tempting. However , this polity was short-sighted . They forgot the old overlook if you want to tell on an elephant , you first strike non an elephant , only if the one who pass on buy it . Selected condescension direction was personable to farmers and not to customers in the stores . It is simple to prevail on _or_ upon consumers that the proposed goods better than the old only delinquent to ease of finale was not loose . This immediately took good of competing companies .\n\nEspecially p oddmentered negative emplacement towards genetically -modified products after the end of the 90s of the last century the atomic number 63an sevens proclaimed a moratorium on GMOs. While such a mensurate has been adopted by the EU is not so more than from fear that GMOs are dangerous , solely from the fact that atomic number 63 does not become its own transgenic tame varieties. And he closed(a) the access to the European market for American products , the EU, thereby defend their own clownish producers.\n\n at a time transgenic varieties lose been created in Europe. In 2003 the European Parliament adopted ii laws abolishing the moratorium and removing most restrictions on the sale of genetically modified foods . Now registered in Europe (ie recognized spotless ) about 20 transgenic crop varieties . So that this issue is not purely medical exam and environmental implications.'
