You miss the point of the questions. Presumably wilfully., The first, for example... farmers - especially 3rd world - commonly keep back part of the seed from a harvest - which they have grown, from seed which ultimately they have bought - to plant the following year's crop. GM seed producers would deny them this. Can you genuinely not see anything wrong in a company 'patenting' Basmati rice? It's been grown for generations across the world, but some company (don't recall if it's US, may be Swiss) has deciphered the genoome and therefore claims a patent on the crop... If you're incapable of understanding the ethical problems here, that would explain your stance. But since you show occasional signs of intelligence, I suspect it's rather an attitude of "Well, Europe wants it so I'm agin' it". This would match your cretinous support of Gingrich for State, on the grounds that it would annoy the 'libs'. Are you always so bitterly unhappy? What a shame.
