What you can do about genetic engineering

We are happy that you have arrived at this page. We think it means that you are sharing our deep concerns about the dissemination of GE foods and other genetically engineered organisms.

The time is right to act

Now the time is right for action, as recently (June 2007) a consensus was reached among leading scientists that definitely destroyed the one-gene-one-trait concept which is the very fundament of genetic engineering, see "Consensus...". This provides insuperable arguments to demand a ban and a withdrawal of GE foods from the market. Also it shatters the very basis of patenting of GE organisms, without which GE companies cannot survive. But this needs to be brought out.

Your contributions as suggested below would be very valuable.

Become a member of PSRAST

Alone, you cannot do very much. Only by cooperating all over the world can we be successful. Therefore it is good to become organized.

Hereby we invite you to become member of PSRAST. Membership is open to everybody, not only scientists and physicians. This is because everybody can make an important contribution to our campaign. You will find the link to our membership registration at the bottom of every page, but please read on first.

Sponsor PSRAST - even a few dollars make a difference

Because of the huge number of visitors to our site (over 312.000 people during 2006), it is meaningful to spend even a even just a few dollars if you cannot afford more. Seldom can a few dollars do so much as they will have a worldwide impact, because our website is visited by people from over 160 countries.

We have plans for a great improvement of the website including a great facelift of the design. In addition we will use different approaches to make our website even more known. This is just part of what you will get for the money. The more we have the more effective will be our campaign.

Recently we have established a cooperation with PayPal, which makes it very easy to sponsor us. Paying with Paypal is easier and more secure than with a credit card, so don't hesitate to do it.

Dear... Are you aware of the hazards of Genetically Engineered Foods (also called Genetically Modified Foods or GMO:s)? Do you know that it has been experimentally proven that GE foods can damage health and that they have even killed animals? Still these foods are on the market. Do you know that the foremost experts on genes in the world have recently admitted that science knows very little about genes and that scientists therefore cannot predict or imagine what will be the consequences of manipulating the genes of a food plant? Therefore unpredictable harmful substances may appear without their knowing it. Are you surprised? Or even sceptical about these statements? This may be because the Biotech corporations have spent many millions on misleading propaganda under the disguise of scientific and objective information, often supported by professors bought to advocate their interests. It has made many people wrongly believe that GE foods are good and safe. This is a really serious problem endangering our health and the environment. For more information I suggest you visit the world's most popular website on this topic. It is popular because it is easy to understand and is an impartial evaluataion of the issue. It is the website of Physicians and Scientists for Responsible Application of Science and Technology (PSRAST) at http://psrast.org. If you wonder if its worth doing, I suggest you also read "Why is the PSRAST website so popular?" at http://psrast.org/pop.htm Kindest regards,...

Learn about the hazards of Genetically Engineered foods Genetically engineered foods are hazardous to your health and to the environmnent. Still they are spread all over the world. Read an excellent website, the most popular one in the world in this field, that explains in a simple way, easy to read, why GE foods are dangerous and how it comes that they are being disseminated in spite of serious warnings from scientific experts and alarming experimental findings including death of animals eating this food. It is the website of Physicians and Scientists for Responsible Application of Science and Technology (PSRAST), which you find at http://psrast.org

Mention us in relevant blogs, newsgroups, forums

Mention us anywhere on the internet where it is relevant but not where it is unsuitable, because if you irritate people it will be counterproductive. Try to reach as many as possible.

Thank you for your willingness to help.
