My name is Sahar Al-Bayatti. I hold a PhD in Genetic Engineering from Baghdad University and work at the Ministry of Agriculture in Iraq. I am also a member of the national Biosafety committee in the Ministry of Environment which works on putting a legislation for safety use of the biotechnology.



Respond to David Edwards in Message 13 and the comment from Gabriel Mutis Namur in Message 15: 



Although I agree with Gabriel in that most of the developing countries are afraid of the genetically modified animals. But I think this is necessary at least at this time and this is because the science till now do not have enough evidence to prove the opposite do they? 



Respond to David who asked about the obstacles behind the use of GE animal as bioreactors in the developing world. Let us assume that those animals will not be used for human consumption after using them as a bioreactor, because this is a whole different issue and of course it is unacceptable. What about the ethic and religion opinion shall we ignore it? I think this issue must be solved. In conclusion I think the developing countries need more time and the scientists who are working on modifying animals need to consider the public opinion in their consideration and need to put to themselves some limit to respect before became so involve.
