Agribiotech giant Monsanto says it won鈥檛 use the controversial 鈥渢erminator鈥�
technology that it is about to acquire. Terminator is a genetic engineering
technique that prevents the seeds of crops from germinating. It would force
farmers to purchase new stocks of GM seed each year, rather than keeping some
from last year鈥檚 harvest. Despite abandoning terminator, Monsanto will not rule
out using genetic technologies that 鈥渢urn off鈥� modified genes after a single
generation.
