Growing antibodies to human sperm in genetically-engineered corn. I have a low opinion of growing antibodies in food-crops. The company says that because they aren't planting the GM corn near other corn, the pollen won't carry. But what if a wind or an insect is unusually strong? What if someone is growing corn for food nearby without their knowledge? Hoping that no wind or insect will carry the pollen to corn intended for food is an accident waiting to happen. If they want to use this technology, let them use plants which aren't food-crops.
