Last Chance to Shut the Door on GM Human Beings,ACT NOW!

In just a few weeks British MPs will decide whether to allow scientists to start research on the ultimate step in genetic engineering: the creation of GM ‘designer’ human beings. In the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, now going through Parliament, the Government wants to allow the creation of GM human embryos, as the first step towards developing "safe" technology for creating GM babies. The creation of GM babies is not just a hypothetical scenario: leading British scientists, such as Robert Winston and Ian Wilmut, have already patented techniques for doing this, including patenting human semen and embryos.

If you care about the impact of GM on food and the environment it makes no sense to be quiet about this.

Islington council kept in dark over "Death Lab" on border with Camden.

We contacted Islington council who it appears have not been informed by Camden council {or anyone else} about the plans for "The World's largest ever, highest level, virus containment facility and animal testing lab" to be built in Kings Cross on the Camden side just a few footsteps from the border with Islington. We wonder, what contingency plans, if any have been drawn up in the event of terror attack or virus leak at the site, scene of 7/7 and 21/7 bombings. Foot and Mouth disease was a govt lab leak.

Controversial Camden Lab links to notorious Huntingdon Life Sciences

The controversial Camden Lab {see www.myspace.com/londonagainstblisslab} will have links to notorious lawbreaking scum, Huntingdon Life Sciences.
SHAC top targets Novartis are on the UCL campus. The UCL are part of the consortium in with the MRC who wan to build a huge virus container facility and animal torture lab. This has recently been criticised at government level.

As govt is criticised over MRC project....govt has criticised MRC.

As the government was criticised over the MRC project, the largest and most important situation to hit London next to Olympic Games. {The world's largest ever, highest level, virus containment facility and animal testing lab due to be built on a Camden council house estate, behind the British Library at Kings Cross, close to the border with Islington}. The government previously criticised the MRC chairman Sir John Chisholm. He was described as "vague" and "possibly the wrong man for the job".

Message of Support on Abortion Rights .

Abortion is criminalised in Ireland and therefore many Irish women use UK
services. This is not spoken of a lot because we are at a stage where 16 years
after the 'X' case , not one government has introduced abortion law.
Pro-life stand in the streets with images of eviscerated infants and argument is
reduced to: -Abortion is always wrong- which means we do not talk about the issues
of human rights, post-abortion continuity of care, medical abortion or
abortion by choice. It does not exist.

Study Finds Concerns with Biofuels' Impact on Biodiversity

02-04-2008 12:55 | Bio-technology | Climate Chaos | World

Bothell, Wash. – March 31, 2008 - Biofuels are widely considered one of the most promising sources of renewable energy by policy makers and environmentalists alike. However, unless principles and standards for production are developed and implemented, certain biofuels will cause severe environmental impacts and reduce biodiversity – the very opposite of what is desired.
