The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India Bill, proposed to be put up to Parliament, claims to take care of the deficiencies in the existing system of approval of genetically modified crops. As it turns out, the Bill is unconstitutional, unethical, unscientific, self-contradictory, and not people-oriented. It suffers from greater flaws and deficiencies than the present system. If passed, it will seriously and adversely affect agriculture, health of humans and animals, and the environment, causing unparalleled harm.
