Question

Should companies be able to own the DNA contained in plant seeds?

Answer 1

Companies should not be able to own DNA in plants.

Explanation:

It is against the spirit of the world at large and very ill advised to allow companies to own seeds and their DNA which would make them monopolize the produce of certain plants over another.

This can lead to catastrophic changes in the ecosystem as well as the risk that some plants required by people to be free will become costly and lobbied for.

This is a capitalistic endeavor that would lead to too much power in the hands of the corporations.
