...a significant minority of people experience adverse reactions when treated with synthetic insulin and these adverse reactions often disappear with a change to natural animal insulin.

There are many cases where it is simply unacceptable, but the recent tests on regenerative mice is fascinating to say the least.
I also forgot to mention that not every one can take Animal Insulin, as it is developed from cows, and some diabetics are also lactose intolerant.

Re: GM Debate
Dont get me wrong, I am simply asking what the general consensus is, I know that plants have been modified genetically for many years now, and we have been cloning for centuries, so in an attempt to see how polarised people are I asked the question.

Re: GM Debate
This i think is a good debate to be had as it never crosses a lot of peoples mind.
Something that i think that should be introduced at secondary school first year a trip to an Slaughter house. show children how there meat gets to the tesco shelf. me thinks meat demand would drop a little. got get me wrong i am no veggie i grew up on a farm i have killed sheep to put in the freezer aided with pigs not a nice sight. i could do it again to fuel my desire for meat.

Re: GM Debate
Right, this is a duplicate post I am aware, I hope its ok jdr, but I really need some opinions on the whole topic, there are some real people on here, who dont really have any problems expressing themselves and I know some wont post in TIO so come on, what are your views?
I for one dont see the fuss given the applications open to the use of GM and to a degree cloning.
