And when/if the RR gene transfers from canola
to related brassicas, will Monsanto be liable
for the increased costs to zero till farmers?
They have so aggressively defended their ownership
rights to the gene, I wonder if they will be
so willing to retain responsibility for the gene
when/if it goes astray.....?
Seriously, I think that the rate of GE
introductions will decrease when the developers
realise that they might face a massive liability.
Whether we support GE in principle or not, I think
we need to make sure that the promoters hang around
to take responsibility for their mistakes!
