Genetically Engineered Organisms in Production of Pharmaceuticals Policy

Revised August 2006

 

  1. The use of GE technology for the purpose of producing pharmaceuticals should be supported where such products are labelled and subject to rigorous safeguards.
  2. Moratoria on the use of GE products should not apply to pharmaceutical products as they could be a greater threat to public health than not having them made available.
  3. Public funds should be allocated for increased research into these procedures.
