The harms from genetic modification products are now so globally obvious we have to wonder at the possible reasons for their continuation. Here's a short list that comes to mind as most likely candidates:
The idea that "medical" manipulation of the genome can stamp out diseases caused by poor lifestyle choices is so compelling to those with a poor grip on logic combined with an avid sense of mythology.
Then the above combined with a profit motive makes the acceptance of obviously mythological constructs so much easier.
The erroneous conflation of genetic modification with traditional vaccines.
The potential for very high levels of embarrassment and shame in those so wrong for so long is overcome by the denial mechanism.
So where do we go from here? Collectively unconscious eugenic considerations? Almost unimaginable until we consider the massive genocides of the 20th century, in descending order of magnitude, in case we've forgotten or didn't know, Mao, Stalin, Hitler.
And we have to stop and consider: each of these individuals fervently believed they were doing the right thing. Is the 21st century destined for genocides greater than the previous?
There is a strong denial mechanism in ethical people that genocide is even possible. The fact of it is too horrific to process, and yet we humans have done this repeatedly since the arrival of homo sapiens on the planet.
Let's not let the mythology of beneficial genetic modification cause even greater destruction of life than has already happened.
Voices are being raised. Dr. John Campbell shares two courageous local doctors speaking out, one in Montana and another in Australia, who've raised their voices in public for all to hear:
