Considering David Gerard has a very upvoted comment, I'd be interested in hearing more about your objections to his comment.

GMO tech is used for a broad set of purposes and on a broad set of organisms. Monsanto uses GMO tech for specific purposes (firstly, to profit) on specific organisms. I don't see why this is a big problem for GMO tech even if there is an ethical breach by Monsanto.

Sorry, it was my crime against specificity that led to this, but what is your reason for rejecting the statement

the purpose of GMOs is so Monsanto can have a plant they own.

as false?
