"This is a very different argument - now it seems that you're suggesting that Monsanto should fall under some sort of anti-trust action. From what little I know, this seems reasonable."
I haven't figured out exactly what the official position from government should be but I would consider anti-trust action to be an option.
"Your original statement, however, was an argument essentially stating that GMO R&D was an endeavor that did not deserve to be profitable in and of itself."
That's not what I meant. Less profit yes, but that's because I'm against profiteering not profit itself.
