| Vatican remarks on Plant Biotechnology |
| In "Science and the Future of Mankind: Science for Man
and Man for Science," the Pontifical Academy of Sciences of the Roman
Catholic Church has published the proceedings of a wide-ranging investigation
of the uses of science which was undertaken at the direction of His
Holiness Pope John Paul II. |
| The Academy came also to address agricultural biotechnology.
Nicola Cabibbo, the president of the Academy, presented "Study Document
on the Use of 'Genetically Modified' Food PlantsŲ to Combat Hunger
in the World." The document represents the consensus of the Academy
and a committee specifically formed to address the topic. |
| This module contains excepts from that document. |
