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.

06-05-2008 15:31

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.
