Sažetak
Today it is clear that the general public opinion is against the genetic engineering (GE) of plants, animals and drugs, as well as genetically modified ingredients in food. Sadly, the main support for GE comes from some educated academic people ; even when their profession is fra from molecular biology and genetics, their belief in science is so firm that they rule out any logical criticism and proclaim resistance to GE as non-scientific. The mistakes of GE and the wrong scientific approach of molecular biologists will be presented from the viewpoint of a plant breeder. Besides the scientific mistakes on which GE is based, bioethical reasons against the acceptance of genetically modified organisms (GMO) will be explained according to the Lošinj Declaration. And last but not least, the economic and political background of genetic engineering will be elucidated.
