To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

We citizens of Australia and Custodians of the Earth draw to the attention of the House, our concern at the continued use of genetic engineering and cloning of human beings, animals, plant life, microbes and foods. Along with the unknown consequences to the earth's natural life forms and environment, in order for individuals and multinational companies to patent and own the food resources of the world.

We request you to pass laws prohibiting the continued use of genetic engineering and cloning of human beings, animals, plant life, microbes and foods. We want you to protect humanity from the patenting and owning by individuals and large corporate bodies of unnatural life forms.

by Mr Tanner(from 32 citizens)
