Biotech Industry Pushes to Release "Suicide" Gene in Plants
In addition, scientists are concerned that this could lead to killing off a wide range of crops and plants, as pollen from plants with the Terminator gene spreads unpredictably in the wind. After a massive international campaign in 1998, Monsanto Corporation announced they were shelving plans to commercialize the Terminator, while the United Nations (UN) called for a global ban. But on February 11, 2005 renewed efforts to overturn the worldwide ban were launched at a UN conference in Bangkok.
