Question

In late 2002, Zambia banned the use of 15,000 tons of corn donated by the US because the corn was genetically modified. The scientific advisers concluded that the health risks posed by GM crops "are inconclusive". Zambia was facing food shortages, and 35,000 Zambians were expected to die from starvation over the next six months.

Do you think it is a good justification for refusing the donated corn?

How do the relative risks posed by GM crops compare with the relative risks posed by starvation?
