Topics Include:
Issue 1: Is Genetic Engineering an Environmentally
Sound Way to Increase Food Production?
A. Yes: The national academies of science of the
United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil,
China, India, Mexico, and the Third World
Argue that genetically modified crops hold
the potential to feed the world during the
twenty-first century while also protecting
the environment.
B. No: Brian Halwell, a researcher at the
Worldwatch Institute, argues that the
genetic modification of crops threatens to
produce pesticide-resistant insect pests
and herbicide-resistant weeds, will
victimize poor farmers, and is unlikely to
feed the world.
Issue 2: Do Environmental Hormone Mimics Pose a
Potentially Serious Health Threat?
A. Yes: Professor of urban and enviromental policy
Sheldon Krimsky summarizes the evidence
indicating that many chemicals released to
the environment affect the endocrine
systems of animals and humans and may
threaten human health with cancers,
reproductive anomalies, and neurological
effects.
B. No. Toxicologist Stephen H. Safe argues that the
suggestion that industrial estrogenic
compounds contribute to increased cancer
incidence and reproductive problems in
humans is not plausible:
