I hate GMO's because they threaten to limit the species to a few "laboratory" specimens, while contaminating (destroying) the natural variations of plant species.
We've already seen many examples of the GMO's escaping the experimental area's and cross pollinating with natural plants.
We've seen that using pesticides can have unintended consequences.
We've learned that using chemical fertilizers depletes the soil, making it unfit to grow crops unless the chemicals are used each and every year.
Back in the 60's there was a huge movement to go back to natural ways of growing organic. The industries answer to that movement was to design GMO's that invade the natural plants and destroy them, thus taking away the individual rights to grow organic. That doesn't even take into account that now we can' use the word organic, we have to find a new word with the same meaning because TPTB have made it illegal for us to use the organic word unless we pay them to "inspect" our place and get their permission.
The only way to be sure your heirloom seeds reproduce heirlooms instead of being contaminated with GMO junk is to grow your seed plants in a closed environment with a closed germination process. Otherwise you may get a knock on the door some day and discover you are being sued for harvesting your own seeds instead of buying GMO carp (along with their pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) every year.
I often wonder about why TPTB have seed storage where they keep pure seeds. Are they that scared of GMO's themselves? Do they know they are destroying the plants so they are prepared to restock the planet after the GMO's have burned themselves out and are no longer viable?
