BAN ON GMO Bt EGGPLANT: PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT

May 11, 2012, The Philippine Supreme Court 
announced a decision against genetically engineered
Bt eggplant. This followed a 2010 ban on Bt eggplant
in India.
                    

According to supporters of the ban, who helped bring
the case to court:

"The Supreme Court decision on Friday sets an important precedent in that it establishes that GE, and in particular GE Bt eggplant, violates the constitutional rights of individuals to a healthy environment. No other court in the world has upheld such a stance against genetically engineered organisms (GEOs, AKA GMO's)."

Why is this important?

What is at stake with genetically engineered crops?
