Slavery was legal for thousands of years. Plant patent laws should be repealed and consigned to the dustbin of history.

  Plant patents serve an obvious public good. The equate them with slavery is monstrous nonsense, a slap in the face to the victims of slavery.

    Don't be silly; I didn't equate the two. I was pointing out the weakness of their argument. Just because something is old and established doesn't make it good.

      Plant patents are a positive good. The public benefits from them (and from patents on new genes). The arguments otherwise are ridiculous when examined critically.
