No matter how often you demonstrate that if you cut off the tail of a mouse, his offspring still have tails, you will still have to deal with those who insist that the offspring will be born without tails.
Yep. Unfortunately, a lot of weird ideas have become matters of religious faith, probably to replace the loss of actual religious faith.
Yes I have no problem with most hybrids.
GMO is another story. I work with some leading genetic researchers in the cancer field. they admit they don’t know what a good portion of our DNA does. Nobody knows the DNA of plants and how mixing genes will impact humans.
As for protection of intellectual property. Thats fine protect your seeds. If you allow your plant to impact another property owner then you should lose control over your property and not gain control over theirs.
“So a scientist has no claim on what his research produces?”
Depends on who pays for the research.
If your “research” goes haywire and screws up my property you should be held responsible.
Ahh so someone who disagrees with you is a luddite and a simpleton.
Go F yourself
Name one case where Monsanto put a farmer out of business because Monsanto's patented product blew into that farmers field from another, or STHU.
I don't believe you have any idea what you're talking about. Do you have any proof to support your nonsense, or are you just spewing?
A license for what? How and why did Monsanto force that license on anyone? Why would Monsanto give a rat's rear end what is sold in a some local farmer's market?
Yeah, right. Let's look at the record:
Every agricultural product I can think of has been genetically modified. Using a gene gun to create genetic modification simply gets you where you want to go faster, and more accurately, than with selective breeding methods. As a matter of fact, selecting just one gene to be modified is much less risky than utilizing hybridization, because you are not involving the other genes. With selective breeding, we are making all sorts of changes without really knowing, exactly, what the outcome will be.
Modern methods of bioengineering are much more effective for making specific alterations to a plant's DNA than via hybridization.
If you allow your plant to impact another property owner then you should lose control over your property and not gain control over theirs.
Still waiting for you to provide one example of where that occurred.
Just for Ref:

“Right now ,no genetically modified wheat is being grown anywhere in the world.”
As long as you’re doing creative writing why don’t you go for 1 trillion. Or maybe 1 quadrillion.
Why?
You labor long and hard here to remove any and all doubt. Only such a person would be completely ignorant of the Green Revolution. For someone who pretends to have some clue about what he speaks, you sure are clueless.
If you're going to make absurd claims on these threads, don't you think you should be able to offer something to back them up....anything at all?
there are many articles on this. do your own research
Selective breeding is not GMO. That you use that in the argument shows your deep ignorance.
You GMO folks are just like the globull warming whackos.
Did you even bother to read the article you linked? That suit was thrown out of court. Did you read anything from the record?
The judge said:
She goes on to say this:
That link didn't work out very well for you. Would you like to try again?
Monsanto could never be as unethical or dishonest as the organic industry, or the even larger homeopathy and alternative medicine industry. But the anti-Monsanto scientific illiterates/Luddites here will blindly champion those groups.
Selective breeding is not GMO. That you use that in the argument shows your deep ignorance.
Selective breeding is not about genetic modification? In what world is that kind of stupidity considered intelligent? Read what I posted again. Modern methods of bioengineering simply get us where we want to go faster and more accurately than with hybridization. The fact that you don't recognize this as fact only proves that you are uniquely unqualified to be commenting on the subject.
You are no different than the evil morons at Greenpeace. You sit at home fat and happy, afraid of vitamin-fortified rice, while two million kids a year die because a bunch of crack pots crackpots refuse to learn elementary school biology, - it's shameful.
You use the same arguments and logic of the globull warming crackpots.
You must have been picked on as a kid.
Did you even graduate from high school?
Wouldn't it be great if you could offer any evidence to support those lame assertions you were so certain about earlier?
You'd probably like a pony, too.
Yes and college and run my own successful business.
Which is why I don’t have time for fools, bye.
