Statement Before Massachusetts Legislature

Help NOFA/Mass. campaign against Genetic Engineering!

Genetic Engineering (GE) is a revolutionary new technology with the ability to extract genes from one form of life and insert them into another. In doing so it can create totally new organisms which will pass these genetic changes on to their offspring.

Find out why NOFA/Mass opposes genetic engineering. Or download a copy of this brochure and distribute it to your friends.
