• End the
commercialization of genetically engineered products and hold
corporations fully liable for the negative consequences of what
has already been released.
• Abolish the ownership of
all forms of life, including the patenting of seeds, plants,
animals, genes and cell lines. Criminalize biopiracy and protect
the rights of people around the world to sustain and strengthen
traditional land-based livelihoods.
• Strengthen public
regulation over potentially dangerous technologies, recognizing
the inherent uncertainty of genetic manipulation and placing the
burden of proof on its proponents to demonstrate that its proposed
products are safe.
• End corporate control
over food and health, as enforced by institutions such as the WTO,
IMF and World Bank, and reclaim public accountability and
democratic control over the decisions that affect our
lives.
