I was going to reply to this with “RIP to that Jane Goodall tramp”, but decided not to due to worrying not many would get the joking reference…
…I see now I had nothing to worry about, though.
RIP, Jane.
Scientists overwhelmingly support GMO food safety, and have done so for many years. CRISPR, which Goodall also vehemently opposed, is revolutionizing treatment of genetic diseases and breaking new ground in organ transplantation, along with other uses. Biotech bans based on fearmongering rather than science have real-world negative consequences for many people. We wouldn’t have Casgevy, a revolutionary treatment for sickle cell disease if those attacking CRISPR had their way.
One can also appreciate that Goodall’s legacy is complicated, and not all of it is good.
Please take the GMO debate to another thread.
You’re right, sorry. Please feel free to hide/move/delete my post.
This is the one for me, I can’t remember a time when this image wasn’t a part of my consciousness.
On a related note, I was surprised to see this at the Babylon Bee! This was more Onion-esque.
