The industry's not stupid. The industry knows that if those foods are labeled "genetically engineered," the public will shy away and won't take them.

Basic income is not a utopia, it's a practical business plan for the next step of the human journey.

You can eliminate, for example, a Brazil nut gene if you know that it will create an allergenic effect.

We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn't do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate.

Many of the genetically modified foods will be safe, I'm sure. Will most of them be safe? Nobody knows.

The world's environment can no longer handle beef.

Can we reach biosphere consciousness and global empathy in time to avert planetary collapse?

Back in 1983, the United States government approved the release of the first genetically modified organism. In this case, it was a bacteria that prevents frost on food crops.

What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether.

The position I took at the time was that we hadn't really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms.

We are entering a new phase in human history - one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population.

The loss of my child broke my spirit.

I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids.

I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession.

It was five years since I'd won a race, so I was a bit bewildered.

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.

I don't like the rules about you can't hit the quarterback.

I'm British; pessimism is my wheelhouse.

Sometimes I get really lonely. Especially when I'm throwing a Frisbee.

We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow our own steps, not those that society forces us to take.

For the great benefits of our being- our life, health, and reason-we look upon ourselves.
