Forbidden Fruit: Transgenic Papaya in Thailand

1 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

Dressed in white, hooded “personal protection suits,” Greenpeace activists donned goggles, gloves, and respiratory masks—the kind of dress you expect to see in the clean zone of a nanotechnology laboratory, not in a field in bucolic northeast Thailand. Easily bridging a barbed wire fence with a stepladder, they began pulling transgenic papaya (Carica papaya) from the trees, throwing the fruit into biohazard waste...
