Thosp:
Thanks for the "peace Y". I certainly understand what you're saying, and don't necessarily disagree. I simply have a great deal of trust in our (federal, university, corporate) research efforts across the entire engineering and scientific spectrum. The real purpose of scientific inquiry is to expand the envelope and eventually make better mousetraps. Let's learn more and hope that super-seeds are what they are "cracked up" to be.
In my not-so-naive mind, I can't believe that the purpose of GM seeds is to starve the needy.
Now if Monsanto makes some money selling 'the seed', then "Hurray for them", they deserve it.
