While merely a scientific tool, biotechnology has instigated worldwide debate and confusion as a result of mixed messages from various people - be they scientists, academics, activists, industry, religious representatives or consumer bodies. The worldwide debate on the pros and cons of biotechnology has been likened to a battleground and a prominent place for virtually every ethical concern. It has stirred conflicting ideas and opinions and has polarized sectors not only among stakeholders but even between countries."
