Monsanto: Patenting death
Monsanto has yet another case pending in the court system, this time before the U.S. Supreme Court on the exclusivity of its genetically modified seed patents.

Authoritative European institutions denied the information that GMO foods cause malignant tumors. However, this was done without any real tests – not so much in the spirit of modern science but, rather, medieval scholastics.
