Farmer’s Supreme Court Challenge Puts Monsanto Patents at Risk

[NickB79]

54. I grew up on a family farm and my degree is biochemistry

I'm currently converting my 1.5 acre property into an edible landscaping/permaculture system, building a new coop for my flock of chickens, and researching how to start either an organic CSA or selling goods at the local farmer's markets.

Derp derp indeed

Given that Terminator seed tech was a big topic when I entered college in the late 1990's, I'm familiar with how it functions. Basically, terminator technology relies on GM plants producing pollen that creates sterile seeds in the same or closely related species it pollinates.

So, if I planted a field of Terminator-gene corn, what other species of plants in North America will it pollinate and render sterile? Do you think corn can cross-pollinate with oak trees, or dandelions, or cattails? Other than sterilizing neighboring fields of non-GM corn (of which 99% is already hybrid seed that isn't saved from year to year anyway), what impact would Terminator corn have on the local ecosystem?

How exactly do you believe it would end life on this planet? The link you provided says nothing to back up your previous claim.
