Re "public forum"

IMHO A public forum we do not want....it would draw every animal/religious nut case in the world...be serious.

FDA approval is pretty much a rubber stamp in this case..IMHO to render a neg opinion they would have to come up with "evidence " we have as yet not seen. The real shame is we are wasting time and money in a situation where there should be a global clearance

>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.
