This sounds most important to me. There is something we might not have
thought to be a direct and beneficial consequence of GMOs : in a near
futur, they will need one human behind each plant, to prevent her from
reproducing and spoiling the neighbours crops, or from infringing the
biotech moguls'patents. An unexpected solution to unemployment which could
lead us to turn to pro-GMOs !!! Uh-oh !
