Interviews with nine scientists about the risk from genetically manipulated plants - for example: “The human genome has approximately 30,000 so called “coding genes” and these can code for more than 500,000 different proteins. Therefore, gene “ "ambiguity” - more proteins coded by a single gene - is very high.” (Professor Marcello Buiatti, Italy) “The products of genetic engineering today are still at the level of dinosaur technology. We use genes which are foreign to a species, not knowing where they are inserted or what else will change in the whole chain from gene to protein.” (Dr Cesare Gessler, Switzerland) “So I think that we should bear in mind that the study… is far below the level of sufficiency to be able to predict any toxicity or any unintended effect of a plant.” (Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini, France) “It would be nice if there was a greater humility and more experts would admit the limits of their knowledge.” (Dr Richard Firn, UK)
