They're fucking around with shit they shouldn't be fucking around with. There are possible side effects and the side effects are numerous depending on what they've done to the genetic code and they just keep going in that area so it's really hard to say what this or that crop might do to the consumer. And they get away with it because they buy the right to get away with it like any other corporation does. They really are a modern version of Victor Frankenstein. These are some evil fucking bastards. But I'll bet you can't pin it on one single person working for Monsanto. This is why, IMO, a corporation is not a person. Because a person has a conscience where a corporation often runs without one. A corporation can easily become a creation out of control and with no regard to the moral consequences of what it does. A person always has to answer for themself with any given decision they make: is this right or wrong? A corporation like Monsanto, not so much where morally wrong choices are made instantly because it will improve their bottom line.
I dont necessarily think that their intentions are inherently bad, like you say, if it works its their bottom line. Especially the geneticists themselves, they probably have semi-pure intentions.
But at some point, you have to ask, who is approving these business practices? Who thinks its ok to try and run small time farmers out of business with bullshit lawsuits and spraying poison on their crops? What group of people are responsible for approving this?
You know someone somewhere has brought the possible side effects up to the high level decision makers - clearly they dont give a rats ass if they fuck up generations of people, weather it be farmers, or people that have terrible side effects from the alterations.
They do everything in their power to run the regular everday farmers out of business, and why? Because they dont buy an tiny amount of seed from them every year?
They try and patent regular seeds (to force all the farmers into buying GMO seed), yet at the same time they have huge storehouses of the regular seed. Why?
They do their best to force their seed everywhere, but wont feed it to their employees or families. Why?
There is something that stinks with that place. Badly. And I think it goes beyond the profit margin.
