I just watched an interesting documentary on how seeds have been patented and how some of those seeds blew into farmers fields and produced plants. The farmer didn't want them there nor did he plant them there. The company that owned the seeds found out that he was growing them there and sued him. The seeds cross pollinated with his seeds and now his seeds are contaminated and he has to destroy them all because of the patents on the seeds dna. This has happened to quite a few farmers and most of them settle out of court and aren't allowed to talk about the settlement. This documentary was also stating that the danger of patenting a live thing because it is constantly growing and changing. They went on to say that if the genes of people were patented then people could be owned. I am not going into throughly and probably not making much since. For them to have a data base of everyone's genes and doing it without people being aware of it makes me wonder why.
