some criminalize belief (like the French law preventing people from saying

No belief is criminalized (how could this be enforced?), neither simply "saying" anything. What is forbidden in many European countries is hate speech using mass media (newspapers, radio, TV, internet) because they are essentially one-way : you could say to many people any horror based on false facts or twisted reasoning without anyone being alowed to contradict you.

We have some serious historical reasons for that.

THERE IS a nuclear reactor on the site, along with a storage facility for highly radioactive wastes from others reactors, research facilities and plants producing nuclear fuel for civilian and military applications.
The part of the site concerned is dealing with low radioactive waste, but THERE IS a risk of leak. Probably not really dangerous, nothing compared with Chernobyl or Fukushima, but hey.
The site is known for recent radioactive leaks, of small quantities, that the authority first DENIED.

You know the difference between *selection* and *insertion of genes from another species*, don't you?
For example, selecting at each generation of a given cereal the seeds from the individual plants that performed best with less water IS NOT THE SAME THING as inserting in said cereals some genes from catus or camel.

The problem with children is that they still have to train their brain to match eyes convergence and focus, while with 3D displays the focus is always on the screen, whatever the technology.
So no, auto-stereoscopic displays such as the coming Nintendo 3DS should not be used by children below the age of 2 or 3.
And for adults, it is a cause of eyes fatigue.
