| Message | Genetic modification (GM) is a threat to our health and to our ecology. It is an untested technology with enormous implications for our environment, largely held in the hands of private companies. We will implement a precautionary principle for new technologies and continue to campaign for a complete ban on genetically modified food |

| Message | Banning GM is removing a valuable tool. GM should be regulated due to the high risks involved, but banning a technology that has promise to increase food yields and nutrition among other things is not something to be thrown away. |

| Message | So, this bill is a precautionary principle or a ban? IF this merely puts GM under FDA-like restrictions I will support this. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
