Biotechnology, Schismogenesis, and the Demise of Uncertainty

Author: Glenn Davis Stone (Washington University in St. Louis)

Abstract

One of the most fundamental aspects of science is uncertainty. Uncertainty fuels scientists to research, experiment, and draw conclusions. Interestingly, both sides of the current “GMO-war” are alleging certainty where it simply does not exist. Through the use of a case study of Bt in India, this Article addresses the irony inherent in both the pro- and anti-GMO arguments based on science that is allegedly foolproof.

Keywords: GMO, uncertainty, science, biotechnology, [Bt], India
