الاسد يصدر قانون "الامان الحيوي للكائنات الحية المعدلة وراثيا ومنتجاتها"

The law is meant "to preserve the health of human beings, animals, vegetables and the environment," the agency added.

WTF.....since when does he care about humans, animals, or the environment???

Human beings and animals are getting killed,vegetables are getting ruined and environment is devastated,,,,what else left to preserve????

Does anyone else find this extremely ironic to the point of laughter?

I think, it is a big mistake. GMOs don't preserve health, they ruin it. There's no sufficient evidence proving GM foods safety. However, if you look at the cancer world map, you'll see that Syria has one of the smallest numbers of cancer instances compare to other countries. Americans have been eating GMOs for while, and there are around 300 new cancer instances per 100 000 people each year. In Syria it is only 72!!! Well, with this new law on GMO's this might change for the worse...
