You know how poor I am at technical arguments of this nature. Science is not my strong suit.
So, would an analysis of this conflicting argument be that there is a genuine need, in some cases, for terminator seeds - as outlined by my relative -
in that the science is good and understandable, but that the science can also be abused and applied to other seeds/crops that don't need the meddling of science... they do pretty damned well as nature intended -- but Monsanto and others see the possibility of taking copyright control of all seeds/crops to propagate their fucking awful business interests?
It's a case of the surgeon's scalpel, it can be used to heal or harm. The choice comes down to who uses it and what their motivations are?
Would that be a fair summing up?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
