Kontext: Es geht um eine kürzlich veröffentlichte Langzeitstudie von Professor Seralini (und die daraus resultierende heftige Debatte unter Befürwortern und Gegnern der Gentechnik), derzufolge die Einnahme genveränderter Nahrungsmittel bei Ratten zu erhöhten Krebsraten führt und daher wahrscheinlich auch für den Menschen gefährlich ist.


SERALINI IS NOT A FRINGE SCIENTIST

Many of the attacks seek to give the impression that Gilles-Eric Seralini is some kind of maverick or fringe scientist. In reality, as well as being Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Caen, in charge of the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Seralini has written over 100 scientific articles and conference papers for international specialist symposiums.

He has also been an appointed member of two government regulatory commissions on GMOs - the Biomolecular Engineering Commission (CGB - Commission du Genie Biomoleculaire) which oversees risk assessment, on which he served for nine years, and the Biovigilance Committee looking at commercialised GMOs, on which he served for ten years. In 2003 he was appointed an expert advisor on GM to the European Commission in the context of its WTO dispute. And in 2008, Prof. Seralini was ***made a Knight of the French Order of Merit*** in recognition of his scientific research.
