Monsanto to be taken to court...
- Thread starter 300 H and H
- Start date
I have always known as all farmers do, that Monsanto or any other companies GMO's can contaminate or pollute anothers fields who may not grow GMO's.. Legally! This I find in no area of law except here in Agriculture. Pollution, or some unwanted condition on your property caused by some one else. If not this GMO issue, the land owner could go to court and find a remedy. Maybe after this case we will be able to do just that. Hold our neighbors and the seed company responcible for contamination that is unwanted. This case has the potential to rock the world of Monsanto and other companies as well. Sounds excellent to me, anyway.....

This also comes at a time when Monsantos Round up weed control no longer is working. the weeds have mutated and it no longer kills them. It took 20 years, but it is fast loosing efficacy. In this time they have been unable to come up with new technoogies, as they are fat and lazy and rested on their collective asses. Now we have no new chemistry to fall back on. Other companies didn't bother either as Monsanto's market share for round up ready crops was so pervasive that it didn't make sence for other companies to create new products to compete against Round up ready crops. Now we shall pay a price for all those years of only Round up use...

Kirk, on this one I have to stand with your position. Hope the good guys win out.
If not,Monsanto's precedent will enable many large corporations, in many fields, to tie their competitors up on tort cases.
Patent law is based on the concept of "discovery" of something unique, not inadvertant corruption of another formerly common, or unique, something.

Not trying to hijack, but the same can be said about all the anti-bacterial soaps and lotions. They make all the bugs mutate into something stronger until someday we'll have deadly ones that nothing can control. IMO the only place these should be used is in hospitals and clinics to protect the patients.

No highjack at all, I think you make an excellent point. In crops lets take the Bt example. Bt is a naturally occuring protein that orgaic growers have relied upon for years. This is now in most corn plants today, done by transgenic mutation, so the plant actually creates this protein that destroys an insects gutt. When the day comes the bugs have become resistant, and that day WILL COME, then oraginc growers are screwed with no recourse. Bt isnot patentable but insert the gene to make it produced by the plant and it is...
The antibacterial products you point out is just yet another example of this type of technology run amuck... with a good dose of fear mongering added in...
