"Industry Backed GM Science - Biggest Fraud of All Times" talk by Hemant Goswami at CSIR-NPL, Pune on GM Crops. The Symposium was organised by "Vijnana Bharti."
[Oct. 7, 2015]
The document discusses several ethical issues related to genetic modification of animals including:
1) Safety and health risks for animals and humans from long-term effects and environmental impacts.
2) Questions of who benefits from the technology and whether it is distributed justly.
3) Potential harms to animal welfare from techniques like cloning that have low success rates and risks of health problems.
4) Concerns about impacts on the environment if modified animals escape and their genes spread widely.
5) Need for public understanding and involvement in decisions around applying new biotechnologies.
The document discusses genetically modified crops (GMCs), including their definition, methods of genetic modification, potential benefits and risks. Some key points:
- GMCs are plants whose genetic characteristics have been altered by inserting genes from other species, conferring traits like pest/disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance, or improved nutrition.
- Potential benefits include increased crop yields and reduced need for pesticides, but risks include possible human health impacts and environmental effects like gene transfer to non-target species.
- Global adoption of major GM crops like soybean and maize has increased significantly since their introduction in the late 1990s, though uptake varies by country. Vietnam has conducted research on GM rice,
Genetically modified crops and food Security..scientific factsRajdeeep sidhu
Genetically modified crops can help increase food security in several ways:
1) They can increase yields through traits like insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, virus resistance, and drought tolerance. This helps increase food availability.
2) GM crops that are drought resistant or produce higher yields allow food to be grown in more difficult conditions, improving stability of food sources.
3) Some GM crops aim to directly enhance nutrition, such as golden rice which is engineered to produce higher amounts of vitamin A to address deficiencies.
Gene patenting has been facing backlash for decades now. Even Michael Crichton, science fiction novelist, as joined the bandwagon speaking against gene patent.1 Such hostility towards patents, the professional interests of academics, researchers and inventors are under the threat of losing their rights over the work they have done. The biotech industry can never be out of discoveries. With constant biological changes, new diseases are appearing and they have to dig deeper. However, not all progress is free. Rewarding the inventors is not at all unfair. This paper will demonstrate that (i) patents are a foundation of the industry. They need to innovate further progress. The reason patent law exists to protect the inventions for a limited period of time. The paper will also demonstrate that (ii) the social myths about gene patent are not really manifested in reality. It will discuss the argument against gene patenting and then will present counter arguments with empirical evidence whether the myths are really true.
The document discusses intellectual property rights (IPR) and the pharmaceutical industry. It notes that while IPR are meant to foster innovation, they can also limit access to medicines and raise prices. The document examines issues around IPR, pricing, access to medicines, and incentives for research and development. It provides background on epidemics like polio, malaria, and cholera. The document analyzes how IPR impact the pharmaceutical industry, including in India, and notes challenges in balancing IPR with public health concerns.
The document discusses the patentability of microorganisms. It notes that prior to 1980, microorganisms were not considered patentable as they were natural products. However, in 1980 the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Chakrabarty v. General Electric that genetically modified microorganisms could be patented. The ruling established that microorganisms created through human manipulation with an industrial use could be patented. This opened the door for biotechnology to become a major industry. The document also discusses India's stance on patenting microorganisms and other biological materials.

The document discusses various forms of intellectual property protection including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Patents provide the strongest protection by giving owners the right to stop others from using their invention, but require public disclosure of how to practice the invention. Copyright and trademark protection have more limited scopes. Trade secrets do not require disclosure but can be lost if the secret becomes public. The document provides examples of intellectual property issues that commonly arise for biotech inventions and businesses.

Ethical Issues Surrounding Patenting of Human Genes and the Development of Ne...Stephen Cranwell
This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding patenting human genes and how it affects scientific research and medical practice. While companies argue patents fuel research, evidence shows patents can slow research by requiring licensing fees and risk of infringement penalties. Patents on genes linked to diseases have limited further research identifying new mutations and made diagnosis only available through the patent holder. Surveys found many researchers limited projects or discontinued research due to patent risks. Withdrawing gene patents, like the Supreme Court did for BRCA1/2, can benefit research, innovation, healthcare costs and patients.
Gene patents give patent holders exclusive rights over DNA sequences for 20 years. They have been controversial due to concerns about commodifying human genetics and limiting accessibility of tests and treatments. While proponents argue patents promote medical innovation, critics argue they hinder research and restrict health access. Emerging issues involve prioritizing overlapping patents and managing the large number of pending applications.
What is science supposed to do?
Search for Truth
Science is to provide a basic understanding of the subject and contributes in sum-total of intellect
Application of science is intended to help improve the overall quality of life in a wholesome manner.
Science should help to foresee the future holistically (cause, effect and consequences, in all its dimensions) and help in forecasting and solving the future issues within the control of human beings; without disturbing the overall equilibrium in any manner.
Antibiotics are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. They were discovered in the late 19th/early 20th century, including penicillin discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Issues with antibiotics now include increasing bacterial resistance due to overuse and misuse of antibiotics, high prices of new antibiotics due to the large costs of research and development, and the need for more affordable generic versions of drugs. Addressing these challenges requires reducing inappropriate antibiotic use, encouraging new antibiotic development through public funding while also making essential medicines more accessible globally.
This document provides an introduction to intellectual property rights (IPR) and patents. It defines IPR as legal rights over creations of the human mind, including inventions, literary/artistic works, and symbols/names used in commerce. Countries establish IPR laws to both protect creators' moral/economic rights and promote innovation/economic development. IPR is divided into industrial property like patents, trademarks, and copyright over literary/artistic works. The document outlines requirements and types of patents like product, process, and conditions for patentability including novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. Examples of patented inventions are also provided.
This document provides an overview of the conjunction between biotechnology and patent law, specifically regarding the patenting of living forms. It discusses how biotechnology inventions have become patentable subject matter under international agreements like TRIPS. It summarizes how Indian patent law was amended to comply with TRIPS, allowing for the patenting of biotechnological inventions involving genes, DNA sequences, and other living materials. The document outlines some of the debates around considering certain biotech discoveries as inventions that are eligible for patent protection.
The document discusses biotechnology and patents. It defines biotechnology as using cellular and biomolecular processes to solve problems or make products. Biotechnology has created over 200 new therapies and vaccines for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. The biotech industry is regulated by agencies like the FDA. The document also discusses the different types of patents including utility patents for machines/processes, design patents for ornamental designs, and plant patents. The main purposes of the patent system are to promote technological advancement and protect inventors.

Bt Toxin Science - Everything You Want to Know about, "WHY It's Not Safe?"Burning Brain Society
Dr. Purnananda Guptasarma, Ph.D (Professor & Head, Dept. of Biological Sciences @ IISER Mohali) speaks in a Public Debate on January 24, 2014 at MICROCON on "Why Bt is Not Safe?" during a Public Debate on GMO's.
You need to understand this to understand What's Wrong with Bt. GMO's.
The document outlines 7 ways that social media contributes to good governance: 1) It brings government closer to the people and allows for civil engagement and participation. 2) It enables an open grievance process and ensures political decisions consider citizen needs. 3) It allows for direct participation and lobbying groups to advocate for issues. 4) It counters misinformation campaigns and promotes transparency. 5) It promotes fundamental human rights like freedom of speech. 6) It provides a fast and cost-effective way to deliver public services and gather feedback. 7) However, social media is a double-edged sword and can also be used against democracy through issues like privacy violations and spreading misinformation.
The document discusses India's trade balance and key imports and exports. It notes that India has recorded sustained trade deficits since 1980 mainly due to high growth in imports like crude oil, gold, and silver. India's main imports are from China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and the US and include petroleum, gold/silver, machinery, electronics, and precious stones. Major exports include drugs/pharmaceuticals, cotton yarn/fabrics, handicrafts, and the pharmaceutical industry is poised for continued growth, making it a promising sector. However, issues like weak domestic IPR protection and global inequality pose challenges.
Hemant Goswami, Chairman of "Tobacco Free World Foundation," analyze the movement and future direction fo the tobacco industry on the basis of recently registered patents and other "Intellectual Property" registration (IPR).
Indian Constitution defines “Right to Equality” guaranteed under Article 14, as; “Equality before law,” and reads as follows, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” (Singhvi, 2008) Article 14 read along-with Article 21 i.e. ‘Right to life,’ has acquired a much broader meaning with the broadest possible concept of equality among all. This concept of equality certainly extends to ‘equal rights for all people to enjoyment and use of nature’s gifts.’ The Indian Supreme Court has upheld it many a times and often interpreted this right as overriding the rights of artificial juristic persons, i.e. corporate engaged in purely economic activities.
The question to be considered here is, “Is this right to equality is limited to people living/existing presently or does this right extend and transcend future generations too?” Is it to be inferred that a person yet to be born after 200 years also have the same right over nature? Does this mean that equality has to be maintained across generations too? Therefore, is this inter-generational equality not only a basic human-right but also an enforceable legislative and constitutional right? Can we monetize and attach a notional value to something which does not belong to us? How can a future generation, due to come after 200 or 500 years ensure equality with present generation? Is this inter-generational ‘Right to Equality’ enforceable, and can it be effectively legislated? How can the levels of this inter-generational equality be calculated?

This document discusses issues related to patents, intellectual property rights (IPR), and their impact on agriculture and food security in India. It notes that provisions in international treaties and Indian laws regarding patents and IPRs have negatively impacted Indian farmers and the agriculture sector. While agricultural production and subsidies for fertilizers have increased over time, food insecurity remains a major problem in India. The document questions whether recent laws and policies favor commercial interests over the rights of farmers and food security for all Indians. It suggests there may be a conspiracy to control hunger for commercial gain.
This document discusses issues related to agriculture and farmers in India. It notes that over 60% of India's workforce is directly involved in agriculture but the sector only accounts for around 30% of GDP. Farmer suicide rates have more than doubled after 1997 according to National Crime Records Bureau data from 1997-2005. Despite large government subsidies for fertilizers, Indian agriculture is struggling and food production has not increased at the same rate as fertilizer use. The document questions whether there are agendas or conspiracies at play in the laws and policies related to seeds, intellectual property rights, and support for GM crops, in order to control hunger. It argues this may be the biggest human rights issue and scam in history.

Food Safety And Regulation Mechanism [In Relation to GM] - Hemant GoswamiBurning Brain Society
Taking about the legal aspect of the laws relating to food security and safety, social activist Hemant Goswami mentioned that way back in 1860 also the penal code provided safeguards against foods and eatables which can cause harm to human health or environment. Food Adulteration Act and Food Safety Act 2006 further assured the right of citizens to have safe food. However the commercial interests are trying to gain backdoor entry in the name of genetically modified crops and food by discarding all precautionary principals of food safety and security. Genetically modified food requires multi-generational tests as they have not evolved naturally. It would be dangerous to adopt anything as food until and unless it has been found to be safe for a minimum of three generation of any animal; at least the mice.
Criticizing the proposed Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill (BRAI), Hemant mentioned that, “The proposed BRAI bill largely takes care only of the multinational companies trying to dominate the food chain and push genetically engineered food to Indian consumers without proper food safety safeguards. The bill is not only anti people and anti farmer but also against the Constitutional provisions of Article 19 and 21. In absence of other safeguards, the rubber stamp BRAI will make us slaves of the powerful MNC’s and countries.”
India on Sale - Analysis of Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill (BRAI)Burning Brain Society
Analysis of Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill (BRAI):: The issue is not limited to Bt Brinjal or Bt bacteria alone, the Part I - Schedule I of the proposed legislation also allows the companies to make genetically modified animals and even Clones of animals. Despite such serious implications, there is no punishment prescribed if someone violates the provisions of clinical trial as provided in part I. neither is there any safeguard or liability clause provided. Clearly the bill has been written by the Corporate and not the Government. It looks like that our ministers have not even read the bill.
4. 1. GM Is A Commercial IPR Product
labelled as Science
Industry has often misled the world for greed. There
are countless examples, I am giving four over here;
1.] Thorium Toothpaste
2.] Lead
3.] Tobacco
4.] DDT
12. Claims of the tobacco
industry …. backed by
SCIENCE?
Besides, there are hundreds of
scientific research paper between
1940’s to 1980’s claiming that no
harmful effects of tobacco use can
be found …. or countering genuine
research highlighting harms of
tobacco.
Later it was found that most of
such research/ research-papers
had direct and/or indirect support
from the tobacco industry.
Doctors?
Scientist?
13. Claims of the tobacco
industry …. backed by
SCIENCE?
Tobacco industry also ensured that
any genuine research on harms of
tobacco, carried out anywhere in the
world, is discouraged and stopped.
A massive campaign and strategic
intervention was initiated and
followed by the tobacco industry.
The campaign against genuine efforts
to “End Tobacco” still continues in
2015. Only the partners of the
tobacco industry have changed.
Science?
New Solutions!
18. From the Industry Documents – MSA Records
(Official Legal Record of the Tobacco Industry)
Trojan Horses!
19. So ….. Where do you place the
‘Industry Driven Scientists’ now?
Not every claim that this is scientific is correct ….
especially in the case of things which are promoted by
industry and driven by profit motive …. Rather most of it
has major concealments
Not every researcher who publishes a paper in a
“Scientific Journal” is a “True Researcher,” there may be
many motives behind it.
The ‘Industry Driven Scientists’ can be called the
‘Prostitutes of Science.’ Anyone pays them to get them.
A wide range of variety exists!
20. 2. GM Never Faced Parliament and
Hence Not Legal
21. 3. GEAC is a back-door entry used
