As a scientist deeply concerned for the welfare of all humanity, I was very pleased that Russia has banned the importation of genetically modified crop seeds after reviewing a recent French study that showed a strong potential cancer link in mice when consuming Gentically Modified (GM or GMO) corn. Concerning the epidemic of improperly and inadequately tested GM foods contaminating our fields and food supply, we should all be deeply concerned about the hasty rush to adopt GM crops without being fully aware of the longterm consequences to the environment and society.

There are a number of arguments made in support of GM-tainted food that I will refute:

1. Humans have been "genetically modifying" food for millenniums.......

2. GM crops will aid in feeding the world's burgeoning population......

3. GM crops save the farmer labor......

4. GM food is safe......

In various depictions of the Devil and other terrible creatures (such as the Minotaur, Medusa or Harpies) among many faiths and cultures, they comprise bizarre mixes of different animal species. It seems that even our ancestors were aware of the dangers/negative consequences of playing God.
