This sounds most important to me. There is something we might not have thought
to be a direct and beneficial consequence of GMOs : in a near futur, they will
need one human behind each plant, to prevent her from reproducing and spoiling
the neighbours crops, or from  infringing the biotech moguls'patents.

!!! Uh-oh !
