The proposed five-year "field trial" experiment would take place from April 2006 to October 2010. The plan is to grow potatoes which are resistant to blight and won't have to be sprayed with large quantities of pesticides. The last time a company, Monsanto, carried out genetically modified (GM) sugar beet trials in Wexford and Cork it sparked a wave of protests and sabotage. The EPA says it will consider any submissions made to it within the next 28 days about risks to human health and the environment by the release of the GM potatoes. It appears that no environmental or health impact studies are planned. Following a public announcement in the Irish Independent on 26 January 2006, the deadline for related public submissions to the EPA is 5pm on 22 February 2006. http://www.friendsoftheirishenvironment.net/papers/article.php?sid=8495 read full story / add a comment

Dignitas was set up in 1998 by Swiss lawyer, Ludwig Minelli, who runs it as a non-profit organisation to assist people whose paliative care is felt to be too ardous and who rather favour euthnasia as an option. ["Dr Michael Irwin said he had provided "advice and encouragement" to five Britons about visiting the Dignitas clinic in Zurich during the past two years. The 74-year-old, who was struck off the medical register last year for obtaining drugs to help a friend die on the Isle of Man, also insisted he was willing to face jail over the issue. Dr Irwin told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "In the past two years I have given advice and counsel and encouragement to five terminally ill people to go from England over to Dignitas."] read full story / add a comment

At a peace conference in Kuala Lumpur last month, the Kuala Lumpur Global Peace Forum of concerned peoples from all five continents, "outraged over the frequent resort to war", made a declaration to criminalise war. "Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace," the signatories, including two former Assistant Secretaries General of the United Nations, declare. "Public servants and professionals, in particular in the medical, legal, educational and scientific fields, must promote peace and campaign actively against war," they declare, and this doctor wholeheartedly agrees. Finally, the Forum resolved to establish a permanent Secretariat in Kuala Lumpur to implement the initiativeand to seek the cooperation of NGO's worldwide to achieve its goals. read full story / add a comment |
