One of the main reasons to genetically engineer crops was to develop plants that are resistant to insects, by having pesticide engineered into the plants themselves. But new research shows that insects love GM crops! The first problem is that pests become resistant to the pesticide, meaning they won’t be killed when the same pesticide is sprayed on non-GM plants. Scientists say that the insects’ resistance develops more quickly than ever because they are constantly exposed to the toxin, rather than just trying to survive an occasional spraying. But now researchers have discovered that insects actually use the poison as a food, so that rather than controlling pests, the GM crops actually help them thrive.

We’ve finally taken a cue from the Canadians and passed a bill allowing us to quarantine SARS patients against their will, if necessary. Why wasn’t this done in China?

The media portrays alien abduction as a dreadful ordeal, but anthropologist Krista Henriksen has found that people who claim to have been abducted say it’s not an unpleasant experience. She says, “[The aliens] tell people they’re not alone, that they’re special, they’re chosen for a purpose.” She?s studied 60 men and women who claimed to have had close encounters.

Most of them remembered being told there were terrible problems with the world but that they had been chosen to do something about it. “Sometimes they have malevolent messages, manipulative, nasty messages. But that was, by far, the minority,” she says. “Most often extraterrestrials were bringing messages of goodwill.”
