<<With Monsanto's terminator technology, they will sell seeds to farmers to plant crops. But these seeds have been genetically-engineered so that when the crops are harvested, all new seeds from these crops are sterile (e.g., dead, unusable). >> They stuck it in my ass for 6 large this year. We used to grow Roundup ready beans and save few for the next year. They weren't sterile but now I had to sign an agreement not to do that and they will have lawyers looking to sue. Odd thing is Brazil wouldn't go along with that and outlawed Roundup ready beans but there export is 20% Roundup ready.

Let alone the danger of lateral (aka "horizontal") gene transfer.... will Monsanto be paying for this damage to other, non-soy crops and non-crop species?
