Bingo. Monsanto and like minded companies are being blamed for forcing Indian farmers into debt, which is the big reason why so many Indian farmers kill themselves. The patent makes it illegal to save seeds, if seeds can be even salvaged. We can easily see a repeat in Haiti.
Monsanto's own website is a great source for HOLY SHIT IS THAT UNETHICAL stuff:
