Why do we let the genes that produce food be patented? When too many foods are eventually produced this way, the control of the world lies in the hands of corporations. They can hold food for ransom, legally.
There will be a time when a famine is worsened because a corporation will insist on a price too high to pay. It will be argued that the corporation has the right to make a fortune if the unfortunate can't pay up. Millions will suffer and millions more will die, all in the name of protecting the patent of a gene.
The control of food has shifted from kings to corporations, and protected by the government, the corporations’ servant.
