Unfortunatelythe technology surrounding the gene enables farmers to grow their crops but not recover theseeds to be planted for the next growing season. The gene alters the crop so that the seeds cannot germinate, forcing farmers wishing to grow the crop to purchase new seeds every year inorder to continue growing the genetically engineered crop. This practice provides customers tothe companies, creating a “monopolists dream.”7 Instead of using the genetic modification of thecrop to produce an improved food supply, the gene increases the farmer’s dependence on theproducing company.BSE senior year: course implementationThis is a good opportunity for
