- gcheong 4y agoAnd Greenpeace and similar ilk wanted to block golden rice which could potentially saves many lives and prevent blindness in areas where vitamin A deficiency is common. They care about nothing but to demonize a technology for the purposes of their misguided ideology https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/26/gm-golden-rice-delay-cost-millions-of-lives-child-blindness https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/26/gm-golde... . As far as I know Monsanto/Bayer do not own any IP around it.
