Nanotechnology
This week, Earthbeat looks at the coming wave of nanotechnology. While activists have called our attention to corporations owning seeds, plants, even whole animals -- multi-national corporations have taken another tack -- patenting DNA itself.
Nanotechnology, the science of creating new life forms from scratch, isn't science fiction -- it's happening right now. On this edition of Earthbeat, we listen to two speakers from the recent What's Next symposium in Sweden.
---
First Pat Mooney of the ETC group speaks about the past, present, and not-so distant future of nanotech.
---
Following Mooney's presentation at the forum was the ETC Group's Jim Thomas, speaking about virtual biology.
---
Host Daphne Wysham spoke to Pat Mooney of the ETC group from his office in Ottawa, Canada about possible ways that governments, organizations, and people can control nanotechnology.
