SynBio: New GMO arriving this year read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/797-synbio-new-gmo-arriving-this-year
A Switzerland based biotechnology company Evolva is introduce an artificial vanilla product later this year made from the immoral technology called "SynBio". The products expected to hit the market in the coming months and years.
The technology involves using computers to generate fake DNA, which is then injected into GM yeast for the purpose of creating synthetic additives.
The plan behind SynBio technology claim that it is completely natural, and they plan to label it as such on food packaging. In fact, the companies behind the technology are going to great lengths to distance themselves from the GMO designation, and regulatory bodies seem to be co-opting this deception against consumers.
In truth, there is nothing at all natural about SynBio, and nobody even knows how the technology will affect actual living ecosystems.
Synthetic biology could have serious impacts on the health of people and ecosystems, on our planet's biodiversity and for communities on the front lines of corporations plans to deploy new technologies and novel organisms for profit.
Even more worrying is the self-replicating aspect of synthetic biology, means to manufacture entirely new species using computers, genetic scientists will now have the power to unleash synthetic creations into the world that have the ability to reproduce without human involvement.
Once released into the wild, there is no way to ever remove SynBio products from existence.
Genetic drift is already a problem with existing GMOs, the traits of which are commonly spread through pollen. Once released, GMOs have the capacity to persist and spread indefinitely, something that is also true of SynBio.
The implications of this have not been carefully assessed by regulatory authorities, and yet the technology is on the fast-track for approval.
