(7,886 posts)You've only given one reason to keep the laws the way they are, and that is corporate greed. You say you're not going to defend Monsanto, then you go on to say that it wasn't their fault the farmers were ill informed, what else could they do but take advantage of them? there are lots of farmers in the world, and someone has to work the fields, and those fields will now always belong to them because that is how plants work, no matter who works the field they will belong to Monsanto. There are tons of reasons to not want GMOs like we don't really need it, the case for them completely dismisses the case against them, we have ways of growing that already takes care of many of the problems that they supposedly solve. It's not a half baked idea to bring patents back to how they were designed, no patents on life. Full stop.
My question still stands, is protecting corporate greed more important than protecting life?
