Farmer’s Supreme Court Challenge Puts Monsanto Patents at Risk

64. Ok I understand that terminator gene manipulation can be a Frankenstein monster but

Why don't the gene manipulators use their technology to create a poor quality 2nd generation? That's basically how hybrids are done. I've planted many a seed from store bought produce only to get a very poor germination rate or to get a very poor quality produce.

Monsatan could make it so their 2nd generation produce are tiny little seeds of corn, soy bean or whatever. They could make it that their 2nd generation of alfalfa breaks off and is too brittle for hay. There is a lot of wiggle room between terminator seeds and perfectly functioning seeds.
