They get their terminator tech approved. The world adjusts (painfully) to the situation of HAVING to buy EVERY years seeds from them. Insiders at Monsanto get into the derivative markets. They engage in insider trading. They get caught. They go bankrupt and the execs go to prison. Lawyers for the holding company for Monsanto's assets while it transitions out of bankruptcy prevent the proprietary seeds from going to market. For two years. _________________________ Helium II is a superfluid, a quantum mechanical state of matter with strange properties . The thermal conductivity of helium II is greater than that of any other known substance, a million times that of helium I and hundred of times that of copper. This is because heat conduction occurs via a quantum mechanism. Second sound is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which heat transfer occurs by wave-like motion, rather than by the usual mechanism of diffusion. Heat takes the place of pressure in normal sound waves. This leads to very high thermal conductivity. It's known as "second sound" because the wave motion of heat is similar to the propagation of sound in air. Sound waves are fluctuations in the density of molecules in a substance; second sound waves are fluctuations in the density of phonons. Second sound can be observed in any system in which most phonon-phonon collisions conserve momentum. This occurs in superfluids and in dielectric crystals when Umklapp scattering is small.

So the problem as you see it is not so much a matter of economics and science coming together; as what happens next. That makes sense. Aside from ethical issues, some of the things that you're concerned about would seem to be very impractical, even from a long term financial standpoint. I'm aware that companies are accountable to their stockholders, but it all just seems so shortsighted even if greed is your only motivation. Needless to say, destroying the world really isn’t a very profitable, long-term business strategy. _________________________ TwistedJenius.com

SINClair Registered: 10/06/08 Posts: 320 Loc: Europe	That's right, you didn't use the term "scared", I guess I used it because I thought that's what it was considering you were referring to medical errors... I should have stuck with "wary" I suppose. I did get the impression that you were not in favour of medical advance in itself by your initial post, but thanks for clarifying it. Not only medicines may cause "side effects", even chocolate may cause a "side effect", if one eats too much of it, they'll end up in the toilet for hours, they'll get fat, etc. General side effects cautions given with medicines are due to the fact that not everybody's body's the same... what can be beneficial to one, may bring side effects to someone else because of a number of given conditions. It's not a bad thing to be wary in the end anyway. PS: I'm replying to you but I'm not implying that you have said any of these things, they are my opinion alone. _________________________ "Wer Nichts Wagt, Kann Nichts Verlieren"

SINClair Registered: 10/06/08 Posts: 320 Loc: Europe	I wasn't asking because I agree or disagree. You had just mentioned that there were a lot of other reasons to be wary of medical advances without actually naming a single one. It does still seem to me that it is not medical advance in itself that people are wary of, but rather medical error and the many medical errors that occur until medicine advances. _________________________ "Wer Nichts Wagt, Kann Nichts Verlieren"
