1. Mention new technology and we immediately assume it is a part of a western conspiracy to undermine us, hence it is not surprising that genetically modified (GM) products are viewed with great hostility.
A. But most GM products have undergone extensive filed trials in more advanced countries and cleared by their authorities and further testing would merely amount to re - inventing the wheel for which we have neither the time nor the resource.
B. It is a contention that untested products are tired out here.
C. China, which we so love to compare ourselves to, has already hitched its stars to the GM bandwagon and the results have been quite encouraging.
D. In a poor country like ours, technology could spell the difference between life and death.
6. So, we can't really afford to sit around debating the merits and demerits of GM technology when we are lagging far behind China in agriculture production.
