Letter: Noninterference

Published 8 April 2000

From Will Podmore

Michael Heyman opposes introducing into Asia the genetically modified “golden
rice” that can reduce vitamin A deficiency
(26 February, p 57).
He argues that this would be Western interference.

Wouldn’t preventing Asian farmers from growing this rice also be
interference?
