Trying to catch up with the news from the past few weeks:
Charles in GM 'disaster' warning (BBC News, Wednesday, 13 August 2008)
Prince 'must prove anti-GM claim' (BBC News, Sunday, 17 August 2008)
The world is facing an increasing number of famines, and GM crops may provide some relief, potentially saving millions of lives. But concerns over the safety have been raised, and if the worries are justified, again millions of lives could be at stake.
As I'm not a biologist, I will have to rely on the judgement of experts. If reputable scientists say that GM food crops pose a considerable risk, then perhaps we should ban GM crops. If Prince Homoeoquack says that GM food crops pose a considerable risk, then perhaps we should abolish the monarchy.

Just grumbling about annoying things that I come across, which are more often than not badly written BBC News articles.
