The “Precautionary” principle Although there is no consensus definition of what is termed the precautionary principle, one oft-mentioned statement sums it up: "When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically." In other words, actions taken to protect the environment and human health take precedence. Therefore, some advocates say, governments should immediately ban the planting of genetically modified crops, even though science can't yet say definitively whether they are a danger to the environment or to consumers.

Possible future advantages What if biotechnology could be used to reduce the amount of mercury or other toxic compounds that fish accumulate from their environment ? What if you could remove the allergens that make shellfish intolerable for some consumers ? What if you could use transgenic fish to detect environmental contaminants ? “BE CAREFUL NOT TO OBSCURE THE BENEFITS NOT READILY APPARENT IN THE FIRST GENERATION OF PRODUCTS” PEW 2003.
