The paper listed below is interesting in that it is highly predictive of what
actually happened, and in that the author shows no ethical reservations about
releasing genetically engineered organisms into the environment. Dr. Duvick
was of the view that the Earth was created for humans to do with as they
wish, the view that has allowed industrial agriculture to develop to the
extent it has.
