100.00% - A seed company patenting a GMO crop is protecting years of research investment, the same way a drug company patents a new medicine — that's what makes anyone invest in the next innovation.
GMOs can be used to create “termination seeds”.
80.00% - Thirty years of commercial GMO crops, and not one cancer spike, not one ecological catastrophe — the danger argument is dead.
5.00% - GMO should receive more testing before sale.
5.00% - Running safety tests before scaling a new technology is responsible development — not grounds for keeping it locked in a lab indefinitely.
5.00% - Once a technology is understood, the next step is deploying it — that's how every agricultural advance from hybrid seed to tractors got adopted.
5.00% - No test can eliminate every theoretical unknown — at some point you accept the evidence and let farmers use the technology.
74.29% - Thirty years of GMO data shows no cancer spikes, no ecosystem destruction, no poisoned aquifers — apply the standard honestly, and GMO crops pass.
4.64% - There is a danger for GMOs leading to species that serve the goals of special interests but diminish the wider needs of humanity.
4.64% - Terminator seed technology and contractual restrictions already prevent farmers from saving seed — this isn't a conspiracy theory, it's current practice.
4.64% - Even if there are more benign or benifical applications, a single dangerous application can justify treaties to limit technology to select government agents i.e. nuclear tech
4.64% - We can rely on our government to implement effective regulation.
3.57% - Terminator seeds force farmers back to the seed company every planting season — a dependency corporations engineered deliberately.
3.57% - Terminator seeds make farmers permanent customers of the seed company by engineering dependency into the crop's biology.
20.00% - GMO technology already enables termination seeds that cannot be saved or replanted.
20.00% - GMOs can be used to create “termination seeds”.
20.00% - GMO technology enables the creation of seeds engineered to be infertile.
20.00% - GMO technology gives corporations the ability to produce seeds that cannot reproduce themselves.
20.00% - GMO technology lets corporations produce seeds that will not reproduce themselves.
50.00% - English contract law
