Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation.

The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm.

Who's got odds on how long it takes this corn to escape the lab and contaminate our food supply?

I really doubt these plants can reproduce. It's a lot more likely that they will be used in regular food without people being told about it. Food DNA studies show that most food is technically just corn. It's fed to animal, it's the main sugar, etc.

The silver lining is that DNA "resets" itself after some generations. Because producing this antibody has no evolutive advantage for the corn, over time it will be replaced.

Sterilizing vegtards is a good thing and should be encouraged, although they tend to be able to do it themselves.

Didn’t Monsanto Do something in India where they had these genetically engineered crops. The seeds would blow into some other farmers crops. Maybe a couple of whatever would grow. They would sue these other farmers into bankruptcy for theft then a lot these farmers killed themselves and Monsanto would buy/take their land
