Others worry about the potential grip
of big business on farming. They claim that GM crops are being pushed by multinational
biotech companies purely for profit reasons. They worry about Genetic Use Restriction
Technology (GURT)where a so-called “Terminator” gene can be introduced to crops, so
that no seeds are produced and farmers have to buy fresh seeds each year from the manufacturer. Although only a theoretical possibility at present, many fear the introduction
of GURT in the future.
