Hello, Adrian Dubock again.



I am very encouraged by the exchange of views in the conference about the Bt Brinjal case. I understand that such clarity of exchange from the scientists was not practical in the noisy atmosphere of the 'public consultation' meetings organized by the Minister of Environment in India.



I am also encouraged by Philipp Aerni's erudite comments in message 52. One of my sons is a marine biologist and ecologist and has also made me more aware of some of these issues. Philipp, I am particularly interested in your statement about the delays to "the usual Schumpeterian life cycle of technological change from a technology as a tool of domination to technology as a tool of empowerment".  Please can you provide a reference or two where I can understand this concept and its origins more fully, as it seems to me to potentially apply much more widely than fish technology, and I have never come across it before.
