Then, we took die growing point By taking that, we generally escape die virus growing in die tuber. You can propagate those many cells from the tip and they will be free from virus. So, we are able, by our strategy, to escape die normal diseases that would be carried along with thVpotato as has been done for ages in the population of potatoes.

"We have run out of land, water is more expensive or we do not have it, it coats more money to do things and we have got to get more production. Our strategy is to use biotechnology, increase agriculture productivity, quality or new products, resistance to disease." 7 According to McKell, the milkweed plants show a good chance of being used as an alternative energy source. In a Research Park publication, Research Park Report, McKell said milkweed has a 10 to 12 percent hydrocarbon content which can be used like petroleum.

"It will help them deal with die public and help us deal with them. And for any of us to get along, I think it is important that we understand where each of us stands. I would also like to point out that they are a minority group. This may be the human rights question of the 80s. I am for stopping die stereotyping, die prejudice and discrimination. Look how we used to treat the blacks 50 years ago. Here tgiin, we arc facing the same issue: Should we recognize them?" Todd Stevens, who spoke against die bill at the executive meeting, also spoke against it during the Assembly meeting. He said, "I am not against the gays having opportunities to work or basic civil rights. I am against ASUU funding them, however. I do not feel this is a minority issue but a moral issue. Even though there is discrimination in many people's minds, I think in the minds of the student body, it is a moral issue. "Second, I question die number of 4,000 people (estimated number of gays on campus). It is a weak link to draw from 50 people at a meeting to 4,000 campus wide. I see a really weak causal link there. "Third, I think it is a sexual preference choice and I am not a psychologist, a sociologist, but in my mind, it is a choice." He then outlined the four reasons why the bill should be defeated. First, because it is a moral issue ASUU should stay in the areas of educational and political. Second, ASUU should not fund an organization whose sole purpose is sexual preference. a heated debate from other members of the was called and the bill was defeated a vote Assembly, the GSU vote, most of the members of following Immediately the Assembly left the meeting so there no longer was quorum, or majority, and the Assembly could not conduct any more 21-13- business.

Each one has expertise in a different area of plant biology, McKell said. McKell said the ethical area of genetic engineering is mainly positive. "We are not interfering with the destiny of plants or doing something that is deleterious. One of the concerns that the ethical people. have is that the biologist would introduce something that is harmful to the rest of mankind simply because it is without its biological environment which would keep it in balance or restraint." He said it is unfortunate that people think these processes are mystical or sinister. . the facility at Research Park, which houses a small greenhouse and some laboratories, the company owns a series of greenhouses, a number of fields and a warehouse.
