Our Guest Tom Horn
And in fact some of the test beds and forests that are being raised here most other states rejected, uh, saying it was far too dangerous. Uh, but because I knew that I would be speaking here I grabbed a couple of them. Here, oh this thing don’t point on your thing? Okay. Here is the should North Carolina wildlife refuges grow genetically modified crops? Down here the, uh, North Carolina State University, and they’re talking about transgenic trees.
A transgenic creation is when you take the genetic material from one living specie and you genetically engineer it into the genetic material of another living specie. Something that cannot hap…happen naturally. Now I don’t know about the transgenic forests that they’re evidently raising here in North Carolina, but I do know that some transgenic trees have been created that have human enzymes in them.
Furthermore we are raising rice crops in the United States right now that you’re going to wind up eating that have human genetic material in them. So that’s how far that train also has left the building. Uh, here’s also the North Carolina Biotechnology Center and on their website they’re celebrating right now how this is a 60 billion dollar a year part of the annual economy. North Carolina wants its part of it. Uh, that’s in Durham.
Where’s that, about 2 hours from here? Uh, here also in Durham is one of the transgenic, uh, laboratories, uh, and, that page right there is talking about the transgenic mouse, uh, part of their laboratory so if you need to get a mouse that is part human or some other part pig or whatever you might happen to need for your experimental purposes this is one of the laboratories in the United States, uh, where you would be able to go. I’m not picking on North Carolina, I’m not picking on Ohio.
