Freeconomy Wrexham - Bringing and Taking in Brynteg

10-05-2008 23:02

Early arrivals wait outside the venue
Freeconomy Wrexham held its second dedicated Bring and Take event today. Our intensive postering and flyering in Brynteg paid off, and lots of people from the local area came along to find out more and went home laden with useful things, all for free.

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.
