That all makes good sense to me. Gm companies are
still rooted in the central dogma of genetics which as become as dead as a dodo
in the last ten years. The completely new science of epi-genetics has made huge
progress in that time and we have found out that there is still a hell of a lot
more to learn.
One of the strangest experiments of this year
proved that memory and emotions in animals can be inherited. They made mice fear
the smell of roses by giving them an electric shock every time that smell was
around. Then these mice were bred for two generations without rose smells or
electric shocks. Then the grand children of the original trained mice were given
the smell of roses upon which they showed serious stress and fear.
Also fairly new is that it can now be taken for
granted that plants too have a memory over generations. Plants can see and some
can hear and smell and some take care of their offspring.
