ABOUT GENEWATCH

GeneWatch is America’s first and only magazine dedicated to monitoring biotechnology’s social, ethical and environmental consequences. Since 1983, GeneWatch has covered a broad spectrum of issues, from genetically engineered foods to biological weapons, genetic privacy and discrimination, reproductive technologies, and human cloning.

The centerpiece of the current GeneWatch is Marcy Darnovsky's analysis of new sex selection technologies. We also present the first version of CRG's growing list of security breaches and accidents at federal biodefense laboratories; an update by Sujatha Byravan and Sheldon Krimsky of a planned federal biodefense lab in Boston; Phil Bereano's much-needed clarification of how international regulatory systems will interact; and an overview of Chinese biotechnology by Nancy Chen.

Safe Foods Campaign - Massachusetts

by Jill Rubin, MassPIRG

Sixty percent of the processed food we eat may contain genetically engineered ingredients. Yet, these new foods have undergone little testing for environmental and human health safety. MASSPIRG and Clean Water Action, along with over forty groups including the Council for Responsible Genetics, have launched the SAFE FOODS Campaign to get Shaw's and Star Market to stop using genetically engineered ingredients in their store brand products, just as they have done for their British customers. If you want to get involved check out MASSPIRG's website at www.masspirg.org or call Jill Rubin at (617) 747-4312.
