Default Greed driving plant science

But there need to be much better plans to keep this kind of thing

from being
able to happen.


The only possible solution which will work is to forbid the growing of
pharmaceutical plants completely. Any other approach is guaranteed to
lead to contamination of the food supply, as with StarLink and
Prodigene...


following the logic of this it would be wise to ban the prescription of
antibiotics to people who were allowed to remain in the community where
they might forget to finish a course. The increase in TB shows how big a
risk that is.
