Modern life under influence of GM-Food: Advantages/Disadvantages - playing God?

Question: Hi
What do you think about the topic: Modern life under influence of science and technology. How GM-food or cloning change our lives? It is just playin god? Is eating a cloned animal eating a science experiment? What do you think about risks? Could it be solve the poverty


Answer: Human beings have selectively bred animals and plants for thousands of years. We've even cross-bred different species (e.g., mules). How is that not playing God? The only difference now is that we can select traits with far greater precision.

Endesa SA : Endesa to perform industrial test of CO2 capture using microalgae

• The success of the first stage of the project has led Endesa to carry out trials with two new types of photo-bioreactors and develop and test new genetically-modified algae to increase the rate of CO2 fixation.

• These initiatives have a budget of Euro 3.5 million.

• The plant uses Spanish technology and is the largest of its kind in Europe.

Endesa has completed the construction of the second phase of its on the site of its Litoral de Almería thermal plant. This second phase will come into operation early next year.

The main objective is to test new types of photo-bioreactors and microalgae and develop recovery processes for the biomass obtained as a first step towards demonstrating the technical and economic viability of the plant.

In phase II, which will cover an area of approximately 1,000m², two new photo-bioreactor technologies that are functionally different to those used in the existing plant will be tested. These are raceways (or open reactors) and semi-closed horizontal tubular photo-bioreactors.
