Recently, Professor Lin Yongjun, a professor of the Huazhong Agricultural University and the leader of the National Major Science and Technology Project, “Planting New Variety of Insect-resistant Transgenic Rice,†disclosed that the Ministry of Agriculture is currently commissioning a 90-day feeding experiment for miniature pigs of genetically modified rice from China Agricultural University. He also commissioned the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. As a monkey feeding experiment, "belongs to primates and is very close to humans." Lin Yongjun also stated that unlike food products and medicines, human experiments are not required before listing. He himself has been eating GM rice for 14 consecutive years since 1999 and is still innocent. (Beijing Times, October 21) The safety of genetically modified rice in the end is not safe, and there are many opinions. Even if the supporters and opponents in the so-called expert team are persistently deadlocked, no one can convince anyone. For the people, the level that can be recognized is that it is normal to question the products that are produced in violation of the laws of nature, because there is no relevant human experiment so far. Maybe someone would say that Lin Yongjun, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, has not been eating GM rice for 14 years? So who has seen Professor Lin eat GM rice for 14 consecutive years? Even if Professor Lin sees rice every day, how can he be judged to have eaten GM rice? No matter from which point of view, Professor Lin's words are nothing more than self-talk. They have neither publicly supervised nor certified by authoritative notarization agencies. The public is convinced that GM rice is safe by just one sentence. Is it too trivial? Prof. Billing’s speech even more shocking is Zhang Qihui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang Jianshi said that the decision to industrialize GM rice should not rely on public opinion, but should go according to regulations and procedures. The Ministry of Agriculture, as the competent department, dares not to make a decision, is ineffective. Leading to missed opportunities for the industrialization of genetically modified rice, waiting for delay will be misplaced. Raising GM rice to the height of misunderstanding does not seem to be appalling. China is a big country in agriculture. The rice produced is not only self-sufficient but also exported to foreign countries. How can we misunderstand the country? Furthermore, Zhang Academician said that decision-making should not rely on public opinion but should follow regulations and procedures. However, neglecting the formulation of any laws and regulations needs to be based on public opinion. People are forced to eat genetically modified rice without public opinion, and it is strange to stir up public anger. It seems that whether or not the promotion of genetically modified rice is unknown to the country, but Professor Zhang’s proposal is likely to intensify social conflicts. Such remarks deserve caution. Regarding the safety of genetically modified foods, Yuan Longping, a rice expert, once said: “Although the experiment is very mature, its possible impact on human beings may appear only after several generations in the future.†In the international context, genetically modified foods The safety was also questioned. In 2007 French scientists confirmed that a genetically modified corn produced by Monsanto was toxic to the human liver and kidneys; on December 22, 2009, the French Biotechnology Supreme Committee announced that the genetically modified corn “does more harm than good. "This means that the cultivation of GM crops is permanently banned in France." In addition to France, countries such as Germany, Austria, Greece, Luxembourg, and Hungary also imposed bans on genetically modified corn. China's current genetically modified foods are still in the stage of animal feeding experiments. Some experts are eager to promote them. Even at the scientific level, they lack scientificity and rigor, and they are also not responsible for the environment and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the research and experiment of GM rice indefinitely, and whether it can be promoted cannot be left to the discretion of a few experts. Experts who support genetically modified rice may wish to let them take the lead in conducting human experiments. Under the supervision of the public and the media, they will be allowed to eat genetically modified rice for a long time. This will not only provide the necessary reference for the safety of genetically modified foods, but also be an expert contribution to scientific research. , I believe no one will oppose it?

It may be better to let experts in GM rice take the lead
