68. So you want to get into semantics here...
Fine terminator seeds don't violate the laws of physics or "nature" but it does undermine the process of life. Seeds are supposed to reproduce. Per the laws of physics any living thing that cannot reproduce is destined for the trash heap of evolution. Terminator seeds are fucking dangerous. As it stands only a small percentage of plant life is edible of that small percentage an even smaller percentage is suitable for mass agriculture. If the world's farmers were to abandon reproducing seed in favor of GM terminator seed such that reproducing seed would not be as readily available then all it would take is one catastrophic failure of this GM seed to send us into global famine. And while that may sound tin foil hat and far fetched to you it is possible. We should not be fucking with the food supply just so a few assholes can make more money.
