Yes, but the difference in the way the patent works is entirely attributable to the fact that plants and animals can reproduce. I don't see it as an odious restriction, because after all, the patent is only good for 20 years. Then the restrictions and the need for licenses lifts.
As we have seen in the past, either the government or companies will come up with ways to either extend patents or have something new approved that covers what the old patent did...
Seriously, what is this urge tho FRANKEN-MOD every living thing on earth?
Glo-Rabbits? WHY? OH LOOK, there is a bunny rabbit, let's make it better and use GMO technology to make it GLOW??? Soething tells me that RABBITS are not the destination trarget of this Jelly-fish mutation.

It is the God Complex. We don't like the thought that we aren't the Supreme Being. I discuss research with my PhD niece about misuse of discoveries. One thing, maybe the only, we agree on is that any research will be misused. If you aren't going to shut down all labs, you have to somehow factor that realism into what research is positive and what is pure and simple greed.

The knee-jerk reaction of the anti-technology crowd to this is so so predictable....
As per the article:
Quote:
The point of the experiment was to show that genetic manipulation with the University of Hawai`i’s technique works efficiently in rabbits. The overall goal is to introduce a beneficial gene into female rabbits, then to collect the protein made in the milk produced by the female rabbits. This approach could lead to new and competitively efficient ways to produce medicines.

Yeh, that' what they all say. No matter how ugly the pig, a little lipstick will make it a beauty queen.
I agree, the spin the anti-technology anti-GM crowd puts on GMO's one would almost believe them until one researches it and sees FACTS underneath the spin...
Well put Bee...
Now if only this glowing rabbit topic were brought up in the forum where it belongs (Science and Technology) we might actually have an intelligent discussion on it...
Is it too much to ask some people to do *some* research on whatever they will be posting here?
Forget about actually getting into a discussion on what they post instead of them just posting nonsense then disappearing for a few weeks only to pop up again and post more nonsense....
This thread is a merge of several related threads, so has no true OP. It is intended for ALL GMO-related news and discussion in the Green Living forum since the majority of discussion are repetitive and continually loop back to the same arguments. Any new non-specific GMO discussions opened in this forum will be merged into this one.
Movements are growing around the world to embrace sustainable, efficient, and localized systems of agriculture. There is growing resistance to the efforts of Monsanto, western governments, and billionaire bankrollers to shove GMO crops down the world’s throat. The realities of local economies and the increasing knowledge of informed citizens will overcome the GMO juggernaut.
As if there were really doubts and concerns people could grow ENOUGH food or crops without GMOs....

Natural framing out producing GMOs?
