Well, it is a complicated topic. Though I was being tongue in cheek with my comment, since a lot of seed can be distributed prior to retirement age, I would certainly be concerned for offspring, next generations, and effects on current consumers. I just doubt anything will ever be done about it. It's like the results of smoking studies, isn't it? Finally, there was proof that it's dangerous, but lifestyle, peer acceptance and addiction still command tobacco presence in society.

It's different from GM foods, for example, which don't actually have the same effect on the human psyche. Those, consumers (unlike corporations) could forgo, like pesticides. But emotional/social/info networks provided by cell phones are deep in the (primarily) imagined needs of the masses now.

production of wise people, and intelligent people, but we will
not have any trouble producing people.
