- JimmyM 10y agoI agree. I also think that dog breeding should be illegal, though, which is a much less popular stance.
- tynpeddler 10y agoFunnily enough, one of the reasons the terminator gene was created was because anti-gmo activist wanted assurances that artificially created genes wouldn't escape into the wild. In addition, farmers who rotate crops also want terminator seeds because it reduces the number of volunteer plants in subsequent harvests. Most of the anti terminator stuff I've read betrays a deep lack of understanding about how the underlying technology actually works.
- eumoria 10y agoCan very much understand that perspective but it isn't being used for that. And it has escaped into the wild anyway.
