Thread: GMOs and Gene Patents

Do you Think that genetically modified organism are safe? Are the alright to eat? Are they good for farmers? Are they good for Business?

I recently watched a documentary on GMOs. It was called BULLSHIT. It followed the work of activist Vandana Shiva. The film was good and seemed fairly accurate, though at the same time somewhat biased. Nothing that was said wasn't true, but the presented the other side of the arguement as if it was completely ludicrous(which was similar to what my opinion was). I wanted to see what other people thought about this and if there was any kind of good arguement for it. It just seems unecissary and kind of fucked up.

I'm also curious if people think that gene patenting should be allowed and why. It seems very illogical to me.
