(45,851 posts)Genetic modification is being used in the pursuit of a monopoly, those always end badly.
You can't support the science without supporting the business practices that drive that science in a particular direction, with different priorities different approaches would be tried but the priority of Monsanto is to get and maintain a monopoly.
I don't know that much about genetic modification, more than the average American but only as a layman. What I do know pretty well is people and the people at the top of the business pyramid may not be psychopaths but they have been trained and trained themselves to act that way, it's almost unacceptable not to when you get to that level.
Nothing personal, just business.
It's all around us, everywhere you look at the top of the corporate and business ladder is corruption and venality. There's plenty of that at lower levels too but it's punished and frowned on there rather than being rewarded and lauded.
