[DIYbio] Re: Cisgenic Frankenfood

After you mentioned it some time ago, I looked it up. I am sorry to disappoint you, but at least in The Netherlands cisgenesis is regarded no different from transgenesis by the law. The same restrictions apply to research, release and trade.
There has been a lot of lobbying by agrotech companies, but even in the latest parlementairy debates there seems to be no mayority to change this.
"Commercial companies have not shown any morality" the state secretary said. Also, there is no consensus on EU level on the risks.
For those that can understand Dutch:
