But the wind carries the pollen of the spliced plants to other areas, causing problems to wildlife and possibly affecting other farms. There is a potential for concern where natural weed plants spread to genetic plants or visa versa. From my point of view, I do not see how it would be advantageous for a company to put out a dangerous product. However, some companies are producing potentially dangerous products. A new 'Terminator' technology that would render a plant sterile would be complying with the company's patent with unimaginable consequences if the 'Terminator' pollen was to be carried on the wind to other plants.
Genetic engineering is a different process, but the end result is still enforcing human control.
The big issue is sustaining biodiversity. There's a lot we can draw on from nature, combined with new discoveries to find an answer to sustaining biodiversity. There is a trip planned for April 16 to Washington, D.C. to protest the policies of the World Bank, which is expected to draw at least 50,000 protestors and rival the turnout of last November's events in Seattle.
