>The discussion of transgenic stuff and implications will happen anyway. I would rather it happen in a public forum rather than within the FDA itself…<
Again, I respectfully disagree.
In a 2006 TV interview, Sen. Sam Brownback drew a parallel between transgenically-derived drugs and human cloning! (Never mind that GTC does not even use cloning to breed its herds.) This man even ran for president (briefly).
I prefer that the examination of GTC’s technology be conducted by professional FDA reviewers behind closed doors than in a venue where Brownback and those of his ilk are free to participate.
