Food for thought

In reading about the recent meeting in Granada, Spain, it seems to me  
that its results have undermined the existing moratorium on  
Terminator Technology (i.e., plants that are genetically modified to  
produce sterile seeds at harvest).  This could clear the path for  
"Terminator Technology" to be accepted by the UN?

What is your view on these "terminator" crops - those that are  
genetically modified so that seeds cannot be saved?    Do you feel  
there is any danger to plant species in general if this ability/DNA  
to kill a plant's embryo is transferred by pollinators to other plants?
