THE POLITICS OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS ...

This book examines the puzzle of why genetically modified organisms continue to be
controversial despite scientific evidence declaring them safe for humans and the environment.
What explains the sustained levels of resistance? Clancy analyzes the trans-Atlantic
controversy by comparing opposition to GMOs in the United Kingdom  Germany  Poland  Spain  and
the United States  examining the way in which science is politicized on both sides of the
debate. Ultimately  the author argues that the lack of labeling GMO products in the United
States allows opponents to create far-fetched images of GMOs that work their ways in to the
minds of the public. The way forward out of this seemingly intractable debate is to allow GMOs
once tested  to enter the market without penalty-and then to label them.
