To be is to be contingent: nothing of which it can be said that "it is" can be alone and independent. But being is a member of paticca-samuppada as arising which contains ignorance. Being is only invertible by ignorance.

Destruction of ignorance destroys the illusion of being. When ignorance is no more, than consciousness no longer can attribute being (pahoti) at all. But that is not all for when consciousness is predicated of one who has no ignorance than it is no more indicatable (as it was indicated in M Sutta 22)

Genetic Roulette by Jeffrey M. Smith

 What is presented in this book

In the absence of large amounts of published data to evaluate the health risks of GM foods, we must draw from varied sources. We include published peer-reviewed journals, unpublished studies, case studies, medical reports, news reports, and eye-witness accounts. We also address theoretical concerns about GM foods based on scientific principles and question the assumptions used as the basis for approvals.

From an epidemiological standpoint, case studies, anecdotal evidence, medical and eye-witness reports, and news stories all have profound significance. They often provide the starting point for an investigation, which may include evaluating and defining patterns of illness, gathering corroborating evidence and analyzing health effects in relation to medical knowledge and scientific theories. This book documents repeating patterns of illness, corroborating evidence, and health reactions consistent with the known potential risks of GM foods.
