GM corn set to stop man spreading his seed

Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation.
The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm. By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in corn plants, the company has created tiny horticultural factories that make contraceptives. 'We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies,' said Epicyte president Mitch Hein.

OK, it may be hypocritical of me to find this to be evil, since I never had any children, but it is another Bill Gates - Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum- Georgia Guidestones scheme to destroy most of humanity and make the remainder slaves to the elites.
Kinda like Covid and the covid 'vaccines'.

Like the Monsanto GMO corn, I'm sure that this will escape the fields where it is being grown and attack / modify the heritage corn crops, and spread around the world like a virus.

I’m with number one.
We need to spend a lot more time refocusing on God and a lot less time limiting his creations with contraceptive food and abortion.
This desire to alter the natural order to manmade ends is Satanic.

Absolutely the dumbest thing ever. Every animal on earth, even those that multiply by singe cell division, depend on nearly the same chemical environment to do it successfully. We already have problems with contraceptive chemicals leaking into the environment and effectively sterilizing already fragile ecologies and endangered species.
Very poor thought processes. A "because it's there..." attitude, that will eventually cause considerable harm.

I scoffed at the people who expressed aversion to GMO products. My understanding was that genetic engineering was used to produce a more vibrant, disease resistant, productive plant. In other words, simply shortcutting the generations-long process Mendell started long ago.
I was naive! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that genetic engineering would be used to produce products that engaged and acted on human cells and genetics. This article gives new meaning to "Children of the corn"! It is scary beyond scary. We have created a generation of Frankensteins without any ethical framework to contain them!
Like the bat researchers at the Wuhan institute, what could go wrong?

No chance at all that this could backfire. Nope, perfectly safe. Just like all that bat research they do in China.

Ah those dang Amish scientists, is there nothing they won't screw with? It's bad enough they modified wheat so it is addictive and causes many of our ills and makes us fat, moved it from the top to the bottom of the food pyramid to push consumption, agri-business, the pharma industries and chemical companies make huge profits off it...and we the people suffer...think I'm nutz??? Read 'Wheat Belly' by William Davis a cardiologist...

There was a news item yesterday about a group of Americans who were trying to establish Corn Hole as an olympic sport.
This news article unintentionally adds some humorous meaning to the matter...

Once again headlines are used as clickbait and hide the real story. The point is not to grow contraceptive corn for consumption. Eating the corn that has been cooked would have no effect on fertility since the anti-sperm protein is broken down by heat and digestion. The corn plant is just being used as a factory to produce the anti-sperm protein that will be extracted from the raw corn and used to create low cost contraceptive products as an alternative to hormone based products sold to women. If this helps make contraception safer and more convenient for women in high birth rate areas it will reduce the need for abortion. They could use alternatives like bacteria to make the same protein but it is probably more economical to use a fast growing plant like corn.

I'm betting there's a vaccine for this already. But unlike the mask mandates that are only for the little people, this jab will only be for our 'betters'.

Being a retired corn grower I can tell you, you can’t keep wildlife out of your corn. Deer, cows, horses, raccoons, badgers, rats and mice, even dogs will gnaw on a fresh ear of corn. Imagine a world without them, plus a multitude of other creatures, including man, and you’re looking at the future of this planet if we don’t get some harsh handles on the ethics of runaway science we’re seeing now. And it better happen fast.
For heavens sake, we can’t even get to the bottom of this COVID mess, no one will tell the truth. Imagine a worldwide epidemic of sperm impotence in male creatures. TH-TH-THATS ALL FOLKS!

Then, they are going to put it in the food. They think they will survive forever. What they don't think is who is going to feed them and cure their illnesses when we all disappear.

Soon enough we will be forced to grow our own food, and use non-hybrid varieties which breed true, since we won't be able to trust seeds from commercial sources not to have these carefully engineered biotoxins in them.
This Dem-panic was just the first stage in reducing "P" in the Bill Gates 'Innovating to Zero' video. Jump ahead to the 4 minute mark if you want to just see Billy Boy's handy equation. He says he will be reducing
some of the other variables.....but I think they have decided that reducing "P" is the best way to "Innovate to Zero".

GMO is great as long as it is used to improve the health and production of the crop. This kind of frankenstein plan is horribly short-sighted and dangerous. This kind of research should not be done, and should be banned, just as gain-of-function research on animal viruses should be banned. As a side note, in the movie "Logan" the human mutant "problem" was eliminated using GMO corn. I find that incredibly prophetic considering this current story.
