SHOULD MULTINATIOALS HAVE PATENTS ON SEEDS? ANY ALL (39)
aspen12: WHAT PEOPLE THINK
The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a U.S.-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup". Monsanto is also the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed; it provides the technology in 90% of the world's GE seeds. It is headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri.
Multinational seed companies should have shared patents of the seeds they are making a profit on them.
With who or whom to share those patents?
with the country that is the center for its origen to start with.

I BELIEV E DEFINTELY NOT.ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO LET PATENTS ON SEED. ITS JUST LIKE THE TERMINATOR SEED WHICH IS STERILE WHEN ADULT THERE IS NO GOING TO THE BIN ANY MORE THEN YOU CONTROL ALL FOOD SUPPLY PATENT IS DANGEROUS AND AGAINST NATURE

One thing is what I believe or what I would like to or what is right to do and another thing is what is real.
They already have patents on many seeds and they will not do diferent just because here at CS we say they might share, they should not have the patentes of the seeds, etc..
Interesting would be to propose HOW do we make them not to have the patents of those many seeds¡

Personally, I think all GE/GEO's, GM/GMO's should be outlawed across the entire planet. Any use of such "materials" should be halted immediately, and no further studies done to promote the propogation of such, except possibly for medical research. 
Same goes for genetically altered or modified animals.

Mexico is the center of origen for corn and we want not transgenic corn grown here(because of genetic contamination), but they are, we have had 1000 acres with transgenic corn in my state as an accident but the law goes by hand with the powerful

Hi Life
I don't think a lot of the neccessary information is actually available to the general public. Most can be found with some research, but many simply don't care, and stuff their yaps with what's in front of them.
Canola is another one, and as I've said before, I won't allow it into my house. Rice, wheat, and the list goes on, it's not just that it might be harmful to people, but the ecology of the area it's planted in, and the surrounding wildlife.
The biggest one is, the power, the money, and what it can and likely will do to the economies of nations supporting and using these products.
Monsanto and Carghill have far too much power and influence worldwide to be stopped at once. It takes small pockets of banning to take root, and then one ara at a time, it can be stopped.

Yes, we do, if you know who's using them. Not all countries require their products to be labelled to say they're using GE/GM material.

lifeisadream: I do NOT favor transgenic crops.
Monsanto and others companies are making huge profits with NOT ONLY transgenic seed but with seeds from many countries that are the center of origin for them.
Also I do believe seeds must be world’s heritage.
About the UN stopping or regulating the use of transgenic seeds I doubt it.
(this link is to see the use of transgenic seeds “reported” and some info but there are non-reported use of them
)
Terrorists need not to have the seeds to alter the world ecosystems the huge seed companies are already doing it.
And for the whole world to be destroyed, if I may add the human race is in a big danger regarding to food supply and regarding the food safeness.
What can you do to stop it?

Can anybody, without getting over emotional or over technical, give us the bones of the arguement about why anyone would patent seed and why this is a problem?

Requires a Referendum to repeal it.
Growers are able to patent Strains of Roses and other Flowers they hybridized,so I don't quite understand the difference of any other Hybrid!
Much ado about nothing much!
But good enough as a Topic on CS!

A "strain" of a Rose, or any other plant is a completely different entity, compared to something that is "engineered" in a lab.
You, sir, do understand the differences, maybe better than most would.

From my understanding, GM and GE seeds are patented owing to the enormous expenditure outlaid on R & D by the developing company. The company wants to protect its investment and profit from sales in order to recoup said R & D and of course, make money. The problem lies in these seeds disrupting the surrounding ecology. I remember reading about the spread of GM Canola onto surrounding farms here in Australia.
Humans have been modifying grain since ancient times. Wheat isn't natural, it is a hybrid of emmer and barley. However, I've yet to fully understand the impact on the environment from GM/GE products.

FDA to consider approval of modified salmon
AP
By MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press Writer Mary Clare Jalonick, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 42 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Tinker with the genetics of salmon and maybe you create a revolutionary new food source that could help the environment and feed the hungry.
Or maybe you're creating what some say is an untested "frankenfish" that could cause unknown allergic reactions and the eventual decimation of the wild salmon population.
The Food and Drug Administration hears both arguments Monday when it begins a two-day meeting on whether to approve the marketing of the genetically engineered fish, which would be the first such animal approved for human consumption. The agency has already said the salmon, which grows twice as fast as conventional salmon, is as safe to eat as the traditional variety.
Approval of the salmon would open the door for a variety of other genetically engineered animals, including an environmentally friendly pig that is being developed in Canada or cattle that are resistant to mad cow disease....

a patent seed is if you want to grow a certain seed you have to
pay a levy. you can not sow untill you pay to holds that patent
terminator seed is the adult will not germinate or its sterile
then you have to go back and buy new seed
if you want to seed you have to go back to is holding that patent
that could be very dangerous and seeds that wont reproduce just plain rediculous danger DANGEROUS DANGEROUS DONT GO THERE

GM will soon be a weapon in the wars . The technology is very much accessible,its just not the seeds , the genitic manipulation can create a lot of new creatures starting from virus to insectes and non can stop its propagation .
