[mobglob-discuss] Take Action on Terminator Gene

[Gordon Flett]

Here is an on-line email letter Action link people can use:

The Campaign has launched an ACTION ALERT in response to a leaked memo
showing that at a United Nations meeting this week in Bangkok, the Canadian
government will attempt to overturn an international moratorium on
TERMINATOR seed
http://www.thecampaign.org/alert_terminator.php

The ACTION ALERT allows you to send an instant e-mail to the following
Canadian officials:
1) Prime Minister Paul Martin
2) Hon. Andy Mitchell, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
3) F.B. Fadden, President, Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Terminator seeds are genetically engineered to be sterile and thereby
prevent farmers from saving seed. This is an extremely risky and
controversial technology. Some scientists worry about what could happen if
the terminator is unleashed on the environment. They fear that terminator
technology could migrate from one farm to another, or from a farm to wild
plants.

And activists in developing nations are concerned that the technology would
put too much power in the hands of a few international agribusinesses.
