One scary aspect to the GMO debate is that Monsanto owns the patent on a process that's been called the "Terminator gene" that can render the seeds from the modified plant sterile. If they chose to they could presumably use this process to prevent anyone from harvesting seeds to regrow in following seasons. You would then have to buy new seeds annually. That could have major negative effects on agriculture as we know it... Just one things about this whole thing that bothers me.
