Too bad Monsanto isn't doing the same thing. I would be willing to send them the rope and tie the noose.

[HaarlemmerHewe]

THEY get the farmers in mass debt and they kill them self to relieve the debt - SAD

GM cotton is bad for many reasons

the good film

"the world according to monsanto" explains it all

I bet most of the people against transgenic crops know little to nothing about RNA, gene promoters, proteins, or tissue culture.

Thousands of suicides? Monsanto, oh Monsanto, you won't get away with it, you may not even survive in the next few years, no one wants that monsterous shit, and you'll have to pay back billions before too long. But time will tell, maybe you'll win and billions will die, but in the end you will lose.

Why is India even growing cotton? Hemp is a much more dynamic and durable fiber, requires no pesticides, can be grown much more densely, removes only cellulose and water from the earth, and has very useful natural byproducts.

This move to patent life forms must be stopped. In the name of profits and market share, the GMO creators are enslaving the world's farmers. If it is truly all about technological benefit to society, then there is no need for a patent, and no need to force it onto people by way of leverage and monopolistic market manipulation.

Scientist, saying cancer-generating GMO poison is essential for fighting food shortages should reveal who pays their bills and buys their scientific integrity...

[mintvagoo]

The use of GM seed stock is not mandatory, nor does GM control annual precipitation rates. Crop failure is a risk all farmer face, it's not unique to India. GM is no more at fault for these suicides than a uncontrollable drought, debt was inevitable

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) lists "financial hardship" among adults in America, as one of the "fastest growing risk factors for suicide".

America leads India in suicides per 100,000 people a year, ranking #40, India ranks #44.

@AlmightyJerk I'm a farmer, I've grown organic, and GMO crops. I've done plenty of research, trust me, if GMO's were banned tomorrow, it would condem BILLIONS to death by starvation. Organic crops are not as hearty a crop. Organic crops would not yeild enough to feed the world population as is. Currently organic, non-hybrid seed makes up less then 1% of the entire seed market.

The answer is the Venus Project. Please research the Zeitgeist Movement.
