Germans pass GM crop law By APMorris - The Commons blog The German government has passed its controversial GM crop law. Story in The Scientist here. The article includes additional links.http://www.biomedcentral.com/news/20041201/01 The law makes planters of GM crops liable for economic damages to neighboring non-GM crop fields if the adjacent field experiences contamination. The GM planter is liable even if he/she followed the planting instructions and government regulations on using the GM seed. I wonder if we will see practices like occurred in the US 19th century cattle rancher-railroad disputes. By placing a salt lick on the tracks, ranchers could lure cattle onto the tracks and strict liability laws then forced the railroad to "buy" the deceased cows that resulted.
