Biología GMOs GMCs biosafety transgenics Costa Rica Genetically modified crops: promises and good intentions are not enough (refutation toEspinoza et al. 2004, Rev. Biol. Trop. 52 (3): 727-732). The arguments presented by Espinoza et al. in theirpaper Relationship of genetically modified crops with the environment and health of the Costa Rican humanpopulation published in this journal (Rev. Biol. Trop. 52: 727-732, 2004) are questioned and refuted. Thearguments are confronted with evidence offered by scientists and national and international independent organizationsaround the world (e.g. World Health Organization, Consumers international, Physicians and Scientistsfor Responsible Application of Science and Technology, international Union for Conservation of Nature andNatural Resources, the Council of the University of Costa Rica, and the independent Science Panel) showingthe current uncertainty and limitations of science in this area, as well as those of proposed and applied biosafetyapproaches. Environment, biodiversity and food security are so important and basic matters, that there is needof serious testing, particularly when promises seem to be based on environmentally dangerous ideas promotedhalf a century ago by the so called green revolution. Debate should continue, based on a holistic analysis offacts and with ethical reasoning, avoiding emotional positions that can confuse virtual reality with reality. Rev.Biol. Trop. 55 (2): 347-364.
