I'm reading these articles on this page and wondering at the voices collected here - how biased they sound.

Suicide seeds? are you a poor farmer forced to purchase seeds and fertilizer from monsanto? have you spoken with these people, heard their hardships and stories. step out of the organized and careful life you live in and see how others are impacted by such biotechnology. we must question technology and its assumed benefits.
