DNAprotection (OP) User ID: 22149484 United States 12/28/2012 11:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Posted 12/28/2012 by - Margaret Bauman The countdown is on to offer public comment to the federal Food and Drug Administration on its environmental assessment conclusion that a fast-growing genetically modified salmon will likely cause no harm to the environment. The FDA planned to public a notice in the Federal Register on Dec. 26 and said it would accept comment on the agency's draft environmental assessment and preliminary finding of no significant impact through Feb. 24, 2013. United Fishermen of Alaska, an umbrella group representing 37 commercial fishing organizations, is urging those in the seafood industry to file their views electronically or in written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Docket number FDA-2011-N-0899, Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, ND 20852. Electronic submissions were also being accepted at [link to www.regulations.gov] once the notice was published in the Federal Register. The pre-release of the Federal Register notice is online at [link to s3.amazonaws.com (secure)] Many Alaskans engaged commercial, sport and subsistence fisheries view the genetically modified product proposed by Massachusetts-based Aquabounty as a threat to wild fisheries. The FDA document states that the genetically modified fish appears to be safe to eat and that it is unlikely to harm wild salmon. AquaAdvantage salmon, as the genetically modified fish is known, is an Atlantic salmon with an extra growth hormone gene from Chinook salmon. Alaska's congressional delegation is united in its opposition to the FDA's draft environmental assessment, which is clearing the way for approval of the genetically modified fish for human consumption. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, introduced legislation in November 2010 to stop the FDA from approving genetically modified fish. Last November, Begich celebrated Halloween by handing on "no Frankenfish" buttons to fellow senators. "I've said from the beginning that Frankenfish pose a gravel threat to Alaska's wild salmon stocks, and today's decision by the FDA is foolish and disturbing," Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, said on Dec. 21. "As the final process moves forward, I will continue the fight with the Alaska congressional delegation to ensure that this product never hits the market." Young said he planned to reintroduce legislation that will at a bare minimum require genetically engineered salmon to be labeled to ensure that the public knows what they are purchasing at the grocery store and feeding their families. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in a video released by her office that she does not believe the FDA should approve these fish. |

DNAprotection (OP) User ID: 22149484 United States 12/28/2012 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah maybe that's a point to self aware species...inevitable self destruction/mutation. Quoting: ArunaLuna Well I don't presume to know any ultimate outcome, all I can do is estimate that we as a species are in no way 'mature' enough yet to be messing with the gene pool in a splicing way. Just an example, I live about a mile from one of the largest natural and one of the oldest known lakes in the northern hemisphere of this continent and 'the first people' here (named "Pomo" by the invaders) lived here for at least 12 thousand years (that we can verify and could be much longer) before Europeans arrived and were not 'nomadic'. We are now fairly sure that the population they had living around this lake at that time must have fluctuated up to possibly 100,000 or more humans and up until Europeans arrived the lake was actually clear, that's why the invaders renamed it to be 'Clearlake'. Now the invaders have only been here for a couple hundred years and now have a max population of about 64 thousand and the lake has turned to water that you wouldn't want your kid's or your dog swimming in. Your mentality can't even figure out how to live around a lake without polluting and destroying the ecosystems, and now you want to piss in the entire gene pool? |

Quoting: ArunaLuna The more versions of reality the better...more fun. I think people really limit themselves when subscribing to only one kind of teaching or understanding as an absolute only way that humans should be...it's such an individualized experience... I absolutely agree...further I feel that the first and most valid 'religion' exists only in the conscience of the individual. I filed a federal case over such back in 2004. Not to say that traditional religion isn't what it claims to be, just to say that our consciences should be recognized on the same level and have the same reach to the 1st amen ;) of the constitution of the usa. |
